摘要
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of nitrogen (N) forms and deficient and toxic rates of boron (B) on the growth, NO3 accumulation, membrane permeability, mineral nutrition, and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of bunch onion (Allium cepa L. var. Radar) plants. Therefore, 20% of NO3 in reference nutrient solution was replaced by NH4, urea, or mixed amino acids (AA). To each of these solutions 3, 30, or 300 mmol m(-3) B was added. Fresh and dry weights were the same in the reference and mixed AA treatments, but NH4 and urea decreased these growth parameters as compared to the reference. Mixed AA decreased the NO3-N content while urea increased it, and NH4 treatment yielded similar NO3-N content as compared to the reference. The nitrogen content of plants was increased by NO3 replacement with either NH4 and, urea or mixed AA. At the 300 mmol m(-3) B rate, B content of plants was decreased by NH4 and urea, but increased by the mixed AA treatment. Membrane permeability was increased by NH4 replacement of NO3. Nitrogen use efficiency was found the highest in the reference treatment. Nitrogen and NO3-N contents were increased by the 300 mmol m(-3) B rate. Increasing B in nutrient solution increased the B contents of plants. Mixed AA treatment decreased the phosphorus (P) content of plants. Potassium (K) and chloride (Cl) contents of plants were decreased in the NH4 treatment where B was applied at the 3 mmol m(-3) rate. These results suggest that bunch onion growers may reduce NO3 content in onion tops by partially replacing NO3 with amino acids without reducing yield.
