Effects of N-15 application frequency on nitrogen uptake efficiency in Citrus trees by Quinones, Ana, Banuls, Josefina, Primo-Millo, Eduardo, Legaz, Francisco

“…In the last case, most of NO3- remained under root system and it could be lost to leaching either by heavy rainfalls or excessive water applications. These results showed that a drip irrigation system was more efficient for improving water use and N uptake from fertilizer, in addition to potentially reduced leaching losses.…”
