- Intervention effect Lower seedbed density gave lower seedling height at 60 days after sowing.
- Intervention effect Lower seedbed density gave larger seedling stem diameter at 60 days after sowing.
- Intervention effect Lower seedbed density gave higher seedling dry weight at 60 days after sowing.
- Intervention effect Lower seedbed density reduced the number of flowers and the yield per plant at the end of the cycle.
- Intervention effect Triple paclobutrazol applications significantly decreased tomato plant height and leaf area compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Triple paclobutrazol applications left tomato dry weight and stem thickness similar to the control.
- Intervention effect Triple paclobutrazol application increased flowers per plant by two relative to the control.
- Mechanism Temporary arrest of vegetative growth by paclobutrazol possibly left more photoassimilates for the inflorescences.
