Construction of nitrogen critical dilution curve and differences in nitrogen nutrition characteristics in different organs of maize varieties with contrasting nitrogen efficiencies by Shuqin Bao, Xingying Chai, Xingying Chai, Linzheng Liao, Xiaoying Li, Lin Shi, Xixi Dong, Sida Long, Huifu Li, Hanyu Wang, Zhenghong Li, Mengting Wang, Yun Ren, Qiang Li

“…IntroductionThis study aimed to establish and verify a critical nitrogen dilution model for different organs of maize varieties with different nitrogen efficiencies and clarify differences in nitrogen nutritional characteristics.MethodsTwo maize varieties (nitrogen-efficient variety ZH 311 and nitrogen-inefficient variety XY 508) were grown under four nitrogen levels to evaluate N dynamics and dry matter accumulation.ResultsThe results showed that the critical nitrogen concentration dilution curves based on root dry matter, stem-sheath dry matter, leaf dry matter, and plant dry matter, with coefficient of determination (R²>0.90), all reached significant levels and could be used for nitrogen nutrition diagnosis of maize. …”
