Effect of Nitrogen Supply on Growth and Nitrogen Utilization in Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
- Total plant DW (DWP, g/plant) = root DW + stem DW + leaf DW;
- Ratio of root to shoot = root DW/(stem DW + leaf DW);
- Stem mass density (SMD, g/cm3) = stem DW/stem volume;
- NA of plant part (g/plant) = plant part DW × TN;
- NA per plant (NAP, g/plant) = root NA + stem NA + leaf NA;
- Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE, g/g) = DWP/NAP.
