Influences of mineral nitrogen fertilizer sources and levels on vegetative growth, yield, curd quality and nutritional value of cauliflower (Brassica oleraceae var. botrytis, L) [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

The goal of the present investigation is to evaluate the response of ''Amshiry'' cultivar cauliflower plants to different sources ofmineral nitrogenjertilizer (ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulphate and urea) and levels (0. 40. 80 and 120 kg N fad -i). as wel/ as their interactions on vegetative growth and yield characters. In addition. to assess curds characteristics and quality, chemical constituents, and amount ofdrip ajier thawing in frozen curds. Two field experiments were conducted at the Experimental Station Farm (Abies region). Faculty of Agriculture. Alexandria University, during both winter seasons of 2004/2005 and 2005/2006.
