Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Growth tended to rise with fertilization, but treatments were statistically similar.
- Observation Leaf nitrogen concentration ranged from 22 to 31 g · kg –1.
- Observation Leaf phosphorus concentration ranged from 5 to 14 g · kg –1.
- Observation Leaf potassium concentration ranged from 19 to 25 g · kg –1.
- Intervention effect The 2320 mg N/plant treatment increased leaf nitrogen content by 18% to 86% relative to the control.
- Intervention effect The 2320 mg N/plant treatment increased leaf phosphorus content by 33% to 303% relative to the control.
- Intervention effect The 2320 mg N/plant treatment increased leaf potassium content by 23% to 58% relative to the control.
- Association Nitrogen efficiency decreased as nitrogen supply increased.
- Association More nutrients remained in the growing medium at higher fertility.
- Recommendation The authors suggest root plugs could provide nutrients after outplanting.
