Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Strawberry nitrogen content decreased as biomass increased.
- Intervention effect All nitrogen treatments significantly increased strawberry yields over the control.
- Association Yield rose with nitrogen rates from zero to 53 kg per hectare.
- Mechanism The yield response was due to increased fruit number.
- Observation Fruit weight did not account for the yield response.
- Intervention effect High nitrogen rates promoted runner growth.
- Observation The nitrogen balance method gave satisfactory results for strawberry fertilization.
- Observation Accumulated nitrogen balance used the least fertilizer while producing good yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend accumulated nitrogen balance to reduce fertilizer costs and environmental risks.
