Pearson’s correlation coefficients for phenotypic traits evaluated under variable plant spacing and flower removal or retention conditions. Positive correlation is indicated by intense orange colour and negative correlation by intense blue colour. a): correlation analysis for phenotypic traits between spacing and deblossoming treatments. b): correlation analysis for phenotypic traits between spacing and flower retention treatment. PH: plant height, PG: plant girth, BPP: branches per plant, LPP: leaves per plant, LA: leaf area, LAI: leaf area index, FW: fresh weight of leaf and stem.
