Interactive effects of nitrogen form and pH on growth, morphology, N uptake and mineral contents of Coix lacryma-jobi L.
The effects of N-form and pH on growth, morphology, nitrogen uptake and nutrients allocation in Job's Tears (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) were determined. The plants were grown on a growth medium with either ammonium (NH4 +) or nitrate (NO3 -) at the same concentration (500μM) and at four levels of pH...
