Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Crown tissue increased linearly as nitrogen application increased.
- Intervention effect Root tissue yield was near its maximum at 200 to 225 kg/ha soil nitrate nitrogen plus added nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Recoverable sucrose yield was near its maximum at 200 to 225 kg/ha soil nitrate nitrogen plus added nitrogen.
- Intervention effect At higher nitrogen levels, crown tissue yield increased.
- Intervention effect At higher nitrogen levels, sucrose content in root and crown tissue decreased.
- Observation With adequate nitrogen for maximum sucrose production, crown tissue provided about 20% of recoverable sucrose per hectare.
- Intervention effect As nitrogen increased, sucrose concentration, extractable sucrose and purity decreased in roots and crowns.
- Intervention effect As nitrogen increased, sodium, potassium and amino nitrogen increased in roots and crowns.
- Intervention effect As nitrogen increased, invert sugar and immaturity index increased in roots and crowns.
- Observation Root tissue had less sodium, amino nitrogen and invert sugar than crown tissue.
- Observation Root tissue had a lower impurity index than crown tissue.
- Recommendation The authors recommend conservative nitrogen use to minimize crowns and improve processing quality.
