Developing functional relationships between sesame growth, development, and nitrogen nutrition during early season

Abstract Plants, being sessile, are subjected to multiple environmental stresses of varying intensity throughout their life cycle. Among the stresses, low fertility, drought, salinity, and nonoptimal temperatures limit crop productivity worldwide. Functional relationships between leaf N and crop gro...
