Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Alliin concentration in garlic cloves rose from 9.2 to 21.4 mg g(-1) dry weight over 83 days of storage.
- Intervention effect Sulfur fertilization raised alliin concentration 2.3-fold relative to control after 83 days.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilization tended to decrease alliin content.
- Intervention effect Fertilizer rates had only a minor effect on short-term bulb water loss.
- Association At 83 days, bulb water loss tended lower with higher sulfur levels.
- Observation At least 30 kg ha(-1) sulfur without nitrogen produced the best alliin quality throughout storage.
- Observation Sulfur requirement for longer storage life was 30 kg ha(-1), above the 15 kg ha(-1) physiological demand for optimum yield.
