Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect At the low preplant soil NO 3 -N site, nitrogen application increased yield sixfold from 197 to 1203 kg·ha –1.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application improved fruit weight, fruit volume and fruit density at the low nitrate site.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application improved fruit wall thickness and strength at the low nitrate site.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application improved carotenoid and chlorophyll a and b contents at the low nitrate site.
- Intervention effect Other nutrient applications and nitrogen at the high nitrate site did not significantly affect yield by size class.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application had its greatest effect on dry-weight accumulation during fruit set and maturation.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application had its greatest effect on N uptake during fruit set and maturation.
- Intervention effect Where nitrogen responses occurred, nitrogen increased total dry weight in plant and fruit by 150%.
- Intervention effect Where nitrogen responses occurred, nitrogen increased total N uptake by 186%.
- Observation Nitrogen fertilizer uptake efficiency was only 12%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend judicious nitrogen use to prevent drainage and groundwater pollution.
