The nitrogen nutrition of yam (Dioscorea spp)
JOURNAL OF PLANT NUTRITION(2020)
摘要
Information on the nitrogen (N) nutrition of yam (Dioscorea spp) is limited. Our objective was to elucidate the factors controlling N uptake by D. rotundata and D. alata. We analyzed results obtained with improved cultivars of these species grown in three field experiments among which N-15-fertilizer was used in one. Plant biomass production, leaf area index (LAI), root length density, N and N-15 uptake by the plant were measured in these experiments. Nitrogen uptake was controlled in both species by plant demand and N inputs. A positive relation was observed between N uptake and LAI. Despite the small root system, the ability of the plant to take N up was high. The amount of N derived from the fertilizer recovered in the plant was explained by total N uptake. Finally, avenues to improve the low nitrogen fertilizer recovery (<20%) in yam are discussed.
