Effects of water and nitrogen coupling on the photosynthetic characteristics, yield, and quality of Isatis indigotica
Abstract Isatis indigotica is a commercial medicinal crop that is widely cultivated with high water and nutrient application, in the arid areas of northwest China. Rational irrigation and nitrogen application are key factors for successful crop management. The objective of this study was to determin...
