Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Partial production efficiency of absorbed nitrogen fell rapidly after the lowering stage.
- Intervention effect Continuous nitrogen after the lowering stage did not increase primary first-order tuber number or one-tuber weight.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen topdressing after flowering adversely affected tuber yield, especially near harvest.
- Observation With nitrogen after flowering, tuber number was nearly constant.
- Observation With nitrogen after flowering, one-tuber weight decreased.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen before the lowering stage did not affect yield.
- Observation One-tuber weight increased with growth until flowering following earlier nitrogen application.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application did not raise photosynthetic rate during tuber swelling.
- Intervention effect Authors concluded nitrogen during tuber swelling did not improve and could reduce the rise in yield.
