Comparison of Adaptability to Nitrogen Source among Vegetable Crops

Interrelationships of Calcium, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus in Vegetable Crops.

Coincident with the rapid advances being made in soil science, an increasing interest has been shown in the soil mechanisms as they control plant nutrition, growth, and crop production. One of the most influential factors involved is that of the interaction of nutrients. The equilibrium among ions in the soil and the culture solution has lately been designated as "nutrientelement balance. " Emp...

Tolerance of vegetable crops to salinity

Global constraints on fresh water supplies and the need to dispose of agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste waters have intensified interest in water reuse options. In many instances, the value of the water is decreased solely because of its higher salt concentration. Although quantitative information on crop salt tolerance exists for over 130 crop species, there are many vegetables whi...

Transplant Age in Vegetable Crops

s. Therefore, more information is necessary concerning cauliflower transplant age. CHINESE CABBAGE [Brassica rapa L. SSP. PEKINENSIS (LOUR.)]. Kratky et al. (1982) in Hawaii found no significant differences in time to maturity, individual head weight, and total yield from Chinese cabbage transplants of 3, 4, 5, and 6 weeks of age. RAPE (Brassica napus ssp. OLEIFERA VAR. NAPUS). In a 3-year stud...

The Ionomic Study of Vegetable Crops

Soil contains various essential and nonessential elements, all of which can be absorbed by plants. Plant ionomics is the study of the accumulation of these elements (the ionome) in plants. The ionomic profile of a plant is affected by various factors, including species, variety, organ, and environment. In this study, we cultivated various vegetable crop species and cultivars under the same fiel...
