ABSTRACT Knowing about the nutrient uptake during plant cycle is essential for nutrient management decisions. We evaluated dry matter accumulation and nutrient demand, and it to determine the uptake curves, the ideal phase for management, and element extraction order for yard long beans. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse. The experimental design was completely randomized, with eight collection periods, at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 days after emergence (DAE), and four replicates. For each period, destructive sampling was performed and the sample’s dry matter content was determined, so that it could be used to estimate macro- and micronutrient contents. When significant, nonlinear models were adjusted to explain dry matter accumulation... |
