- Recommendation The authors judged bulbils a suitable planting material based on early emergence and aboveground size.
- Intervention effect True seed led to significantly earlier shoot emergence than bulbil and cormel.
- Intervention effect Cormel produced larger shoot and corm than true seed.
- Intervention effect Bulbil produced larger shoot and corm than true seed.
- Intervention effect 70% shading improved emergence and growth compared with full sunlight without a significant difference.
- Intervention effect 50% shading increased pseudo-stem length and leaflet number.
- Intervention effect 70% shading increased pseudo-stem length and leaflet number.
- Method / resource The leaf area model using total midrib length times average leaflet width achieved R2 = 0.9932.
- Recommendation The authors recommend LA = 0.6761(TLM×AWL) for estimating konjac leaf area.
