Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Nitrate increased dry weights of cucumber fruit, leaves and roots.
- Intervention effect Ammonium decreased dry weights of cucumber fruit, leaves and roots.
- Intervention effect At least 50% ammonium increased nitrogen content of cucumber fruit, leaves, stems and roots.
- Intervention effect At least 50% ammonium increased phosphorus in cucumber fruit, leaves and stems.
- Intervention effect Full nitrate increased fruit potassium and magnesium content.
- Intervention effect Full nitrate increased calcium in cucumber fruit, leaves, stems and roots.
- Intervention effect At least 50% urea increased nitrogen in leaves and roots.
- Intervention effect At least 50% urea increased phosphorus in all tissues.
- Intervention effect At least 50% urea increased fruit potassium.
- Intervention effect At least 50% urea increased magnesium in fruit and leaves.
- Intervention effect Ammonium decreased potassium, calcium and magnesium in all tissues.
- Observation Ammonium toxicity occurred above 50% of solution nitrogen.
- Observation Urea caused necrotic effects above 50% of solution nitrogen.
- Observation Two cucumber cultivars generally did not differ significantly in response to nitrogen forms.
- Recommendation Nitrogen form should be considered when using plant nitrogen percentage and other minerals to assess nitrogen status.
