Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased the leaf contribution to total dry mass in E. vesicaria.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen did not increase leaf production in D. tenuifolia.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen did not increase leaf contribution to total dry mass in D. tenuifolia.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen emphasized leaf area differences between the species.
- Observation The two rocket salad species differed in inorganic anions and nitrogen content.
- Observation D. tenuifolia ecotypes accumulated more nitrate than E. vesicaria, 7.7 versus 4.7 g kg−1 fresh mass.
- Intervention effect Increasing nutrient solution nitrogen raised leaf nitrate content in both species by 52%.
- Observation Nitrogen use efficiency was greater in E. vesicaria than D. tenuifolia, 19.0 versus 18.0.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen use efficiency fell with increasing nutrient solution nitrogen, from 19.0 to 17.6.
