A Comparison of Nitrogen Sources and Rates on Mineral Composition of Mango Seedling Leaves
Year: 1979
Type: article
Abstract: Ammonium sulphate, calcium nitrate and urea were applied to mango seedlings for comparison on chemical composition of leaves. Urea had significantly increased the N and carbohydrate content and calcium nitrate had increased the Ca and K content. Increasing levels of fertilizer significantly increased the N, P and carbohydrate content while decreased K, Ca and C/N ratio gradually. Interactions between source and levels showed a significant difference with only Ca and K content. On the whole urea at 20 gm/pot (45 × 30 cm) proved helpful for most of the characters of mango seedling followed by calcium nitrate in order of usefulness.
