Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Uniform fertilization produced taller plants than variable rate fertilization in low lying areas.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer treatments had no significant effect on density, branch number or bud number.
- Association Plant growth parameters correlated significantly with soil properties and nutrients under both fertilizer treatments.
- Intervention effect Mean fruit yield was higher under variable rate fertilization, though the yield difference was not significant.
- Intervention effect Variable rate fertilization saved 41% fertilizer in Field 2.
- Recommendation The authors suggested variable rate fertilization could increase fruit yield and reduce fertilizer use.
