| Abstract: | Summary Fifteen experiments were carried out in different sites of Italy, Belgium, Scotland and The Netherlands from 1995 to 1999
to study the possible use of chlorophyll meter to assess the nitrogen status and to guide nitrogen fertilization of the potato
crop. The results are gathered here and reviewed together with available information in literature.
The paper deals with measuring principles of chlorophyll meter; relation between chlorophyll meter readings and analytical
measurements of chlorophyll, analytical measurements of nitrogen, crop nitrogen content, tuber yield, and physiological processes
in leaves; variations in chlorophyll meter readings related to nitrogen supply, potato cultivar, crop management, and sampling
methods; use of chlorophyll meter readings for decision making in the management of supplemental nitrogen fertilization (assessment
of chlorophyll meter critical threshold, plant response to addition of supplementary N). |
