Fertilization strategies on cultivars of globe artichoke: Effects on yield and quality performance

Abstract

This paper refers on the yields and productive aspects of mineral and foliarnutrition of globe artichoke plants (cv. 'Opal' and 'Madrigal'). Marketableyields were investigated in response to different nitrogen rates and foliarapplications of biostimulating products. Field experiments were conductedover two seasons on an alluvial salty-clay soil in sub-humid climateconditions. Analyzed traits differed between years because of the age ofplants while the lowest nitrogen rate and foliar spraying of biostimulantsinfluenced significantly head weight, dry matter, and Soil Plant AnalysisDivision (SPAD) index. Biostimulants induced longer cultural cycle and headslighter in weight. Cultivar 'Madrigal' was most productive than 'Opal', both innumber (26.28% higher) and in weight (28.51%) of total heads. The two-yearinvestigation showed that the synergic action was effective in improvingsome of the investigated productive traits of globe artichoke.
