e0“Various applications of N fertilizer formulations to bell pepper plots were made to affect soil nitrate-N concentrations from 5 to 30 ppm throughout the growing season”
e6“The highest blossom-end rot (BER) incidence was associated with NH4NO3 applications. But the N source effect on BER was strongly influenced by soil nitrate levels”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Number and weight of marketable grades for the first and third harvests improved when soil N was increased from 5 to 30 ppm.
- Association In the final harvest, marketable yield was highest for applications maintaining soil N at 25 ppm.
- Association Earliness of bell pepper was enhanced by N sources.
- Intervention effect Ca(NO3)2 gave the earliest yield, followed by NaNO3 and NH4NO3.
- Intervention effect Total marketable yield from Ca(NO3)2 or NaKNO3 was 3 t/ha higher than from NH4NO3 applications.
- Association High marketable quality was maintained with Ca(NO3)2 and NaNO3 treatments.
- Association The highest blossom-end rot incidence was associated with NH4NO3 applications.
- Association At 10-20 ppm soil N, leaf calcium decreased during the 8 to 12 week period.
- Association At higher soil N, leaf calcium remained unchanged.
