Optimal nitrogen (N) management is essential for profitable vegetable crop production and
to minimize N losses to the environment that are a consequence of an excessive N supply …

Improvements of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) may be achieved through the use of sensing
tools for N status determination. Leaf and canopy chlorophyll, as well as leaf polyphenolics …

This study investigated the effects of biochar and compost, applied individually or together,
on soil fertility, peanut yield and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a Ferralsol in north …

Relationships between chlorophyll concentration ([chl]) and SPAD values were determined
for birch, wheat, and potato. For all three species, the relationships were non-linear with an …

Main conclusion This study demonstrates a dose-dependent response of Trichoderma
harzianum Th-56 in improving drought tolerance in rice by modulating proline, SOD, lipid …

Improving the accuracy of predicting plant productivity is a key element in planning nutrient
management strategies to ensure a balance between nutrient supply and demand under …

The aim of this work was to assess the effect of leaf thickness, leaf succulence (LS), specific

chlorophyll assessment in crop species. Can. J. Soil Sci. 92: 645–648. This research had the …

Estimating crop nitrogen (N) status with sensors can be useful to adjust fertilizer levels to
crop requirements, reducing farmers' costs and N losses to the environment. In this study, we …

Aquaponics (AP) is a food production system that combines hydroponic (HP) crop
production with recirculating aquaculture. Different types of hydroponic systems have been …
