Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Total biomass declined linearly with increasing maximum soil water deficit.
- Association Root yield declined linearly with increasing maximum soil water deficit.
- Association Storage root diameter decreased with greater water deficit.
- Association Process-grade root packouts fell sharply as water deficit increased.
- Association Root soluble solids concentration had no significant relationship with water deficit.
- Recommendation The authors recommend minimizing water deficits to achieve high quality carrot yields.
