Influence of Acclimatization on Carbohydrate Production and Translocation of Ficus benjamina L.1

Year: 1979

Type: article

Abstract: Increasing shade decreased carbohydrate levels in Ficus benjamina leaves and roots during production. Increased shade during production decreased root carbohydrate during the interior holding phase and increased fertilizer during production increased root carbohydrate. Root and shoot carbohydrate was reduced during holding. Results of all variables correlated with keeping qualities.
