Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Two leaves above a single cluster gave 25% higher fruit yield than pruning directly above it.
- Intervention effect The pruning yield benefit came from higher fruit weight.
- Intervention effect Fruit number did not explain the pruning yield benefit.
- Intervention effect Higher light increased fruit yield in single-cluster plants.
- Intervention effect Higher light increased harvest index in single-cluster plants.
- Intervention effect Two-cluster plants had 30% to 40% higher yield than single-cluster plants.
- Intervention effect Two- and single-cluster plants had little difference in harvest timing or duration.
- Intervention effect Three-cluster yield did not differ significantly from two-cluster yield.
- Intervention effect Three-cluster production delayed the harvest period by 5 days.
- Association Plant density affected fruit yield per plant.
- Association Plant density did not affect fruit yield per unit area.
- Recommendation The authors favored two clusters at 5.5 plants/m2 and two leaves above the cluster.
