Fig. 1. Potato tuber yield in container-grown plants amended with organic N sources, in the presence and absence of inorganic N fertilizer (adjusted to 224 kg N ha–1 availability from organic and inorganic N sources); least square means ± standard errors. Treatments with different letters are statistically different at P < 0.05.
Fig. 2. Nitrate-N dynamics monitored using an anion exchange membrane at two depths in the container experiment. Means are reported for NO3–N monitored every 15 d from membranes inserted initially 10 d after planting. Error bars are standard errors of means.
Fig. 3. Light-fraction organic matter from the 0- to 20-cm depth measured in the container experiment at harvest; mean and standard errors reported for weight and C and N content of the light fraction. Treatments with different letters are statistically different at P < 0.05.
