Does this snippet mention if other factors were constant, like day length?
What were the night temperatures?  (Details!  Details!  I demand details!)
If it's from a newspaper article, then I doubt any of this stuff would be

I'm sure I'm not the only one pondering devices to raise the temperatures
around chile plants.
