Effects of nitrogen fertilization on the photosynthesis and biomass distribution in a potato crop

Nitrogen fertilization has positive effects on growth and production of potato crop. The objective of this study was to assess the differences of the photosynthetic response and biomass partitioning patterns during the main phenophases of the potato cultivar Capiro under different nitrogen nutrition...
