“…Nitrogen fertilization largely affected plant growth, so that at the end of the raising period the size of the plant varied according to the level of nitrogen received, as was reported by several others authors (Will, 1985;Wurr et al, 1986;Tremblay & Senécal, 1988;Hiron & Paterson, 1990). Lower N supply restricted especially the expansion of leaf area (Figure ID).…”

The effects of N fertilizer applied by overhead irrigation, on cauliflower cv. Andes seedling growth during raising in cellular trays and on plant growth after field transplanting were studied during 1986-87. Increased N concentration (0-1.55 g/litre, applied twice a week) generally increased plant DW, plant height and leaf area, but significantly reduced percentage DM. DM production was greatest at 0.47 g N/litre, but leaf area expansion rate continued to increase beyond this N rate. A linear relationship between leaf area and plant height was observed which was independent of N fertilizer regime and duration of the seedling raising period (6 or 8 weeks). The large differences in plant attributes observed at the end of the seedling raising period had almost disappeared 3 weeks after transplanting in the field. At the final harvest, no significant differences between N treatments was detected for harvesting date, duration of the harvest period, curd quality or yield.
