Effect
No effect on produce quality
No effect on water use efficiency
Bio-F03 treated raspberries subjected to different fertigation regimes in commercial set up showed no sig. differences in BRIX, stomatal conductance (LiCOR), chlorophyl fluorescence (MiniPAM), xylem pressure, fruit/biomass fresh and dry weight, water use efficiency (C13 isotope analysis ) or nutrient use efficiency (C:N ratio) when compared to the control plants grown at the same conditions.
