Nitrate accumulation in hydroponically-grown lettuce cultivars and relationship to nitrogen supply
The research in this thesis is made up of three related experiments, each concerned with nitrate (NO$\sb{3-})$ accumulation and reduction in hydroponically-grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), and its relationship to various aspects of N supply, including solution NO$\sb{3-}$ concentration, the nitrate:ammonium solution ratio, and the interaction between solution flow rate and NO$\sb{3-}$ fertilization level.
