Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Editor,

Here the comments for the manuscript revision.

 

Title: Effects of Nitrogen Application in Recovery Period after Different High Temperature Stress on Plant Growth of Greenhouse Tomato at Flowering and Fruiting Stages

Comments

Could authors provide some photos of the experiments?

Abstract

Line 22: Change “difference(P<0.01)” and “interaction(p<0.01)” to “difference (P < 0.01)” and “interaction (P < 0.01)”. Same remarks for spaces and P values.

Line 35: Please, choose one manner to write units: “g/plant” or “g plant-1”.

 

Introduction

Line 82: Replace “temperatures28” by “temperatures [28].

Line 88: Change “tomato plant” to “tomato”.

Materials and methods

Line 133: Replace “25°C/15°C” by “25 °C/15 °C”.  Same remarks for this unit in all the main text.

Line 133: Replace “12h//2h” by “12 h//2 h”. Same remarks for this unit in all the main text.

Figure 1: The red one is missed in the legend.

 

Results

Flowering and Fruiting Stages are missed. Please, provide them in the M and M as well as Results sections or delete them in the title.

Line 302: Replace “tatio” by “1ration”.

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear author,

Thank you for the work you have done to finalize the manuscript titled : Effects of Nitrogen Application in Recovery Period after Different High Temperature Stress on Plant Growth of Greenhouse Tomato at Flowering and Fruiting Stages. This work the impact of differ Temperatures and N application on tomato recovery upon heat stress. The work needs some modification to be published:

Materials and methods:

-          What was the source of your N fertilizer?

-          After the tomato plants took…………20 September. Plz, Rephrase.

-          Measuerment of tomato plant growth Parmenter. Whole text must be rewritten in prober way.  

-          Change THRICE to TWICE

-          What is age of root sample for TTC? What is your reference?

-           3.23. dry matter RATIO

thank you

OK..
