Broccoli yield and dry matter partitioning in response to application of sediment from post-harvest washing of mussels

The response of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Arcadia) yield to application rates of mussel sediments (MS) from post-harvest washing as source of nitrogen (N) was evaluated in a two-year (2011-2012) study in Bouctouche, New Brunswick, Canada. Treatments in 2011 included a control (no amendment or fertilizer), three rates of MS (28,000, 42,000 and 56,000 L ha-1 equivalent to 14.7, 22.0 and 29.4 kg N haThe accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
