Genetic variability of nitrogen accumulation during vegetative development and remobilization during the forcing process in witloof chicory tuberized root (Cichorium intybus L.).

Abstract excerpt

A better knowledge of genetic variability of traits related to nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a potential strategy to optimize N fertilization and to reduce environmental pollution without decreasing marketable yield and quality. To this aim, in this study, 13 cultivars of witloof chicory were compared with three reference cultivars known for their adaptation to low, intermediate and high N availability in the...
