Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Shoot growth of all four vegetable species was enhanced at higher N rates.
- Intervention effect Root growth of the four vegetable species decreased at higher N rates.
- Intervention effect Broccoli leaf area and shoot dry weight increased curvilinearly with K rate, with a maximum at 200 mg·liter −1.
- Association The effect of K rates on growth characteristics was generally a function of the N status.
- Observation The effect of K rates differed among species, with celery being the least affected.
- Intervention effect Under the high N rate, broccoli reached maximum percentage of shoot dry matter, root dry weight and root:shoot dry weight ratio at the intermediate K rate.
- Intervention effect Under the high N rate, broccoli had minimum specific leaf area at the intermediate K rate.
- Intervention effect Increasing K rates under high N status enhanced both lettuce leaf area and dry matter accumulation.
- Intervention effect In pepper, increasing K rates under high N status caused leaf expansion and resulted in more succulent plants.
