Nitrogen Use and Uptake Efficiency and Crop Performance of Baby Spinach (<i>Spinacia oleracea</i> L.) and Lamb’s Lettuce (<i>Valerianella locusta</i> L.) Grown under Variable Sub-Optimal N Regimes Combined with Plant-Based Biostimulant Application

Nitrogen Use and Uptake Efficiency and Crop Performance of Baby Spinach (<i>Spinacia oleracea</i> L.) and Lamb’s Lettuce (<i>Valerianella locusta</i> L.) Grown under Variable Sub-Optimal N Regimes Combined with Plant-Based Biostimulant Application

An optimized nitrogen (N) fertilization may have a positive effect on leafy vegetables by increasing growth, yield and nutrient content of plants. Nevertheless, crop performance must be coupled with an increase in Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) in order to limit external N inputs and to avoid N surpl...
