Abstract

The addition of Cu at 2 and 4 kg/ha did not increase the yields of carrots, beets, onions, or rutabagas grown in soils normally used for these crops in Prince Edward Island. Leaf tissue Cu concentrations of these crops were found to be in the range of 6–14 ppm and generally were not affected by the added Cu. Key words: Tissue copper, vegetable yields, podzol soil
