Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Nitrate-fed potato plants made more stolons than ammonium-fed plants at tuber initiation.
- Intervention effect Nitrate-fed plants made thicker stolons than ammonium-fed plants.
- Intervention effect Nitrate-fed stolon tips swelled or formed tubers earlier than ammonium-fed tips.
- Intervention effect Nitrate-fed plants produced more tubers than ammonium-fed plants.
- Intervention effect Harvest tuber yield did not differ significantly between nitrogen forms.
- Intervention effect Nitrate-fed plants had lower shoot growth rate at tuber initiation, offered as a possible explanation for unchanged yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrate-fed shoots were sometimes heavier than ammonium-fed shoots during tuber bulking.
