Increasing the nitrate-to-ammonium ratio improved plant growth and nitrogen uptake in pineapple seedlings

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionPrevious studies indicate that the combined supply of both nitrate nitrogen (NO₃⁻) and ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺) is more beneficial for pineapple growth than the exclusive supply of either NO₃⁻ or NH₄⁺ alone. However, the optimal ratio of NO₃⁻:
