- Intervention effect PGR treatment increased water spinach yield in pots versus half-rate fertilizer.
- Intervention effect PGR treatment increased Chinese cabbage yield in pots versus half-rate fertilizer.
- Intervention effect PGR treatment increased water spinach yield in field experiments versus half-rate fertilizer.
- Intervention effect PGR treatment increased Chinese cabbage yield in field experiments versus half-rate fertilizer.
- Intervention effect PGR treated leafy vegetable yields were similar to full fertilizer yields.
- Intervention effect PGR treatment reduced water spinach nitrate content by 19.2% versus half-rate fertilizer.
- Intervention effect PGR treatment reduced Chinese cabbage nitrate content by 19.8% versus half-rate fertilizer.
- Intervention effect PGR treatment reduced water spinach nitrate content by 39.1% versus full fertilizer.
- Intervention effect PGR treatment reduced Chinese cabbage nitrate content by 32.2% versus full fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Foliar PGR spray increased water spinach nitrogen content.
- Intervention effect PGR1 increased Chinese cabbage nitrogen content by 7.3% in pots versus full fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Chinese cabbage nitrogen content with PGR1 was similar to full fertilizer in the field.
- Recommendation The authors recommend PGR application with a 50% lower fertilizer rate to maintain production and quality while reducing fertilizer and increasing nitrogen absorption.
