Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Reduced soil moisture reduced leaf water potential in all clones.
- Observation Diurnal differences in leaf water potential were more pronounced at 12.5% v/v soil moisture.
- Association Mean leaf water potential increased as soil moisture declined.
- Observation Composite tea may suffer water stress below 30% v/v soil moisture.
- Recommendation The authors recommend short exposure at low soil moisture.
- Recommendation TRFK 57/15 was identified as a rootstock for potential commercialisation.
- Recommendation TRFK 8/112 was identified as a rootstock for potential commercialisation.
- Recommendation TRFCA SFS 150 was identified as a rootstock for potential commercialisation.
- Recommendation EPK TN 14-3 was identified as a rootstock for potential commercialisation.
- Observation AHP S15/10 was more susceptible to water stress among scions.
- Observation Total chlorophyll content varied between clones.
- Association Total chlorophyll content decreased as soil moisture increased.
- Intervention effect Rootstocks did not affect chlorophyll content.
