Field Assessment of Macronutrients and Nitrogen in Apple Leaves Using a Chlorophyll Meter

Evaluation of a portable chlorophyll meter to estimate chlorophyll and nitrogen contents in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) leaves

Portable, non-destructive chlorophyll meters could be a valuable tool for forest managers and researchers. The ability of such meters to assess both chlorophyll and nitrogen content has been well established for many agricultural species, but not wellstudied for North American forest tree species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a portable chlorophyll meter to estimat...

Simple Assessment of Nitrogen Nutrition Index in Summer Maize by Using Chlorophyll Meter Readings

Rapid and non-destructive diagnostic tools to accurately assess crop nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) are imperative for improving crop nitrogen (N) diagnosis and sustaining crop production. This study was aimed to develop the relationships among NNI, leaf N gradient, chlorophyll meter (CM) readings gradient, and positional differences chlorophyll meter index [PDCMI, the ratio of CM readings betw...

assessment of deep word knowledge in elementary and advanced iranian efl learners: a comparison of selective and productive wat tasks

testing plays a vital role in any language teaching program. it allows teachers and stakeholders, including program administrators, parents, admissions officers and prospective employers to be assured that the learners are progressing according to an accepted standard (douglas, 2010). the problems currently facing language testers have both practical and theoretical implications but the first i...

Chlorophyll meter – a decision-making tool for nitrogen application in wheat under light soils

Nitrogen (N) in plants is generally diagnosed by a soil test and plant tissue analysis.However, such analyses are costly in terms of time and money and are not easily accessible byresearchers and extension workers, let alone farmers. Alternative cost-effective methods arerequired for rapid analysis of the N status of crops and to guide N management in wheat. Theobjective of this study was to as...
