Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Shoot dry mass, leaf dry mass and total terpene yield increased linearly with canopy PPFD.
- Association Essential oil concentration increased asymptotically with canopy PPFD.
- Association The linear increase in terpene yield was strongly correlated with increased leaf biomass rather than terpene concentration.
- Association Canopy PPFD had no effect on plant height or width of Mentha spicata.
- Association Leaves were smaller under higher canopy PPFD.
- Association Leaves were thicker under higher canopy PPFD.
- Association Total leaf area per plant increased under higher canopy PPFD.
