- Intervention effect Ammonium in solution decreased tissue calcium and magnesium concentrations.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that combined ammonium and nitrate fertilization can enhance nitrogen uptake.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that combined ammonium and nitrate fertilization can enhance potato productivity.
