Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Increasing N did not affect the number of marketable pepper fruit in Trial 1.
- Intervention effect Increasing N increased the size of pepper fruit in Trial 1.
- Intervention effect Marketable fruit weight was significantly greater with Treatment 3 than with Treatment 1.
- Intervention effect Marketable yield did not differ significantly between 120 ppm N and 175 ppm N.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen level did not affect blossom end rot occurrence in peppers.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 120 ppm N to maximize yield and reduce environmental impact of greenhouse pepper production in Florida.
