Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Onion leaf nitrogen varied over time and by leaf age.
- Observation Thrips injury differed significantly among onion cultivars.
- Association Thrips injury did not differ among onion leaf nitrogen concentrations within cultivars.
- Association Purple blotch outbreak was unrelated to onion leaf nitrogen levels.
- Intervention effect Total nitrogen uptake did not respond to foliar fertilization.
- Observation Foliar nitrogen use efficiency averaged about 10% relative to the check plots.
