Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The model set optimal mineral nitrogen at 23.4 mg kg–1.
- Observation Above the nitrogen threshold crop yield did not vary significantly.
- Observation Above the threshold tissue characteristics and produce quality did not vary significantly.
- Intervention effect Suboptimal nitrogen reduced plant growth.
- Intervention effect Suboptimal nitrogen reduced tissue mineral content.
- Intervention effect Suboptimal nitrogen reduced SPAD index.
- Recommendation The authors propose their models for nitrogen supply and spinach growth and yield estimation.
