Claim · model-written summary
Both combined nitrogen–AsA treatments significantly increased vegetative growth, leaf composition, yield and seed quality relative to the control; the treatments did not differ significantly.

e0“fertilization of pea plants with 100 kg N/fed. combined with foliar application of AsA at 400 mg L-1 followed by 80 kg N/fed. with 400 mg L-1 of AsA gave significant increases for the traits of plant vegetative growth (plant height and fresh weight, branches and leaves number/plant, leaves fresh weight, leaves area/plant and partially leaves dry matter percentage), leaves chemical composition (N, P and K percentages and chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids contents), pods and seeds yield components (number and fresh weight of green pods/plant, green pods yield/fed., 100 seeds fresh weight and green seeds yield/fed.), seeds quality (Vit. C, TSS, total carbohydrates, crude protein, N, P, and K contents) and moderate values for both seeds nitrate (NO3) and dry matter percentage of pea compared with control treatment (60 kg N/fed. only), without significant differences between two interaction treatments in both seasons.”

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect The combined treatments produced moderate seed nitrate and dry matter values.
- Intervention effect Increasing nitrogen from 60 to 100 kg/fed significantly increased the previously listed traits except leaf and seed dry matter and seed nitrate, which decreased.
- Intervention effect AsA at 400 ppm significantly increased the preceding parameters relative to untreated plants.
- Intervention effect AsA at 400 ppm gave the lowest dry-seed nitrate content, with no significant difference among AsA concentrations in this respect.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 100 kg N/fed with 400 mg L-1 foliar AsA, followed by the 80 kg N/fed alternative to reduce costs and pollution and produce safe food.
