Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Spinach biomass did not differ by nitrogen fertilizer form.
- Intervention effect Raising ammonium nitrogen increased spinach biomass.
- Intervention effect Raising nitrate nitrogen decreased spinach biomass.
- Intervention effect Ammonia nitrogen fertilizer gave the lowest nitrate accumulation in spinach leaves among nitrogen forms.
- Intervention effect Nitrate nitrogen fertilizer produced higher nitrate nitrogen accumulation than other fertilizer forms.
- Intervention effect At low nitrogen level, ammonia nitrogen benefited spinach leaf nitrogen accumulation.
- Intervention effect At higher nitrogen level with Pb, ammonia nitrogen had the reverse effect on spinach leaf nitrogen accumulation.
- Intervention effect Urea nitrogen facilitated Pb accumulation in spinach roots.
- Intervention effect Ammonium nitrogen facilitated Pb accumulation in spinach leaves.
- Intervention effect Soil Pb pollution decreased spinach quality.
- Intervention effect Nitrate nitrogen fertilizer yielded lower leaf and root Pb than urea and ammonia fertilizer.
- Recommendation SPAD could be used to pre-evaluate spinach nitrate concentration and potentially determine harvest time.
