Effect of cultivar on measurements of nitrate concentration in petiole sap and leaf N content in greenhouse soil-grown cucumber, melon, and sweet pepper crops

Excessive N fertilizer applications in intensive vegetable production in soil is commonly associated with appreciable N losses causing negative environmental impact. Measuring petiole sap [NO3−‒N] and leaf N content (%) are simple and practical monitoring methods to assess crop N status for improvin...
