The nature of the pod wall and accessibility of stylets to plant sap are probably factors responsible for this preference.
Concurrent with these increases in vegetative growth, the removal treatments delayed fruiting and decreased pod yields, but had no effects on pod size.
In tomato/cowpea intercropping, all cowpea pods were harvested at maturity and dried to a moisture content of 120 g water/kg fresh weight.
For pod yield, plants were harvested from an undisturbed net plot area of 4.8 m2 at maturity.
Younger pods have less thickened cell walls that could be penetrated more easily and are believed to have more accessible sap.
The eclogite sheets and pods are generally sheared and retrogressed to amphibolites at the margins of such bodies.
In the present study, most pods harvested from the treated plants after 15 weeks were without blemishes and of adequate size, therefore marketable.
Some of the conclusions run counter to common plantation practice such as leaving damaged and rotting pods amongst the cocoa trees.
