Abstract | [Abstract]: Water deficits after transplanting delayed floral initiation and allowed more leaves to be produced. Moreover, the size of most leaves of commercial value was increased by water deficit; for example, withholding water for 28 days after transplanting increased the area and dry weight of commercial yield per plant by 33%. Results from the pot experiment demonstrated that the larger leaf area resulted from an extended period of linear growth and a greater rate of expansion after water deficits were relieved. |
