Efficiency Ranges for Nitrate-Nitrogen and Potassium for Vegetable Petiole Sap Quick Tests
نویسنده
چکیده
Petiole sap N and K quick tests offer fast and accurate in-field analysis for N and K and have been calibrated for some vegetable crops in Florida. This paper summarizes 10 years of research conducted in Florida on petiole sap testing for N and K. Petiole sap nitrate-N and K concentrations correlated highly with wholeleaf N and K concentrations and decreased through the season for all vegetable crops tested. Optimum early season fresh sap nitrate-N and K concentrations were highest for pepper, and optimum late-season concentrations were lowest for tomato. Petiole sap nitrate-N and K concentrations were not affected by storing petioles on ice for up to 16 h or freezing them for 24 h.

Using Nitrate-N Petiole Sap-Testing for Better Nitrogen Management in Vegetable Crops
Vegetables have a relatively high nitrogen requirement and at times growers apply too much fertilizer-N that contributes to ground and surface water pollution. Fertilization can be made more efficient by plant analysis. Plant tissue (petiole) nitrate testing is a way of monitoring the nitrogen condition of the crop during the growing season. This is an especially useful method as the petiole is...
متن کاملEvaluation of Rapid Methods for Nitrate Plant Sap Analysis of Globe Artichoke Grown in Sand Culture
Artichoke has a high nitrogen requirements and often farmers apply excessive amounts of fertiliser that contributes to groundwater pollution by nitrate. Artichoke nitrogen fertilisation can be made more efficient by plant analysis. Petiole sap nitrate concentrations in recently mature leaves was tested as an indicator of crop nitrogen status in artichoke grown in sand culture. Two rapid methods...
متن کاملNitrate accumulation in leafy vegetables and its relationship with water
Present studies show that nitrate accumulation is the major factor influencing the water uptake by vegetables, but there is lack of knowledge on how the relationship between nitrate and water concentrations in different vegetable tissues. We determined nitrate accumulation and water content in vegetables of rape, Chinese cabbage, and spinach under different nitrogen levels (experiment I), 29 sp...
متن کاملAssessing crop N status of fertigated vegetable crops using plant and soil monitoring techniques
Evaluation of crop N status will assist optimal N management of intensive vegetable production. Simple procedures for monitoring crop N status such as petiole sap [NO 3--N], leaf N content and soil solution [NO 3-] were evaluated with indeterminate tomato and muskmelon. Their sensitivity to assess crop N status throughout each crop was evaluated using linear regression analysis against nitrogen...

The aim of this study was measuring nitrate and leaf chlorophyll content in aerial parts of plant, from which we can predict the hypocotyl nitrate content of radish. A factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with five replicates was carried out on two varieties of radish (Cherry Belle and Sparker). Plants were grown in perlite containing pots and were treated with five levels of ...
