Abstract

Highest growth rates of 10 crops with a closed leaf canopy and non-limiting supplies of water and minerals ranged from 162 (grass) to 228 (potatoes) kg DM/ha per day. When root DM was taken into account, the growth rate of most crops was similar, about 250 kg DM/ha per day, the determining factor being the weather. Differences in DM yields between crops were determined mainly by the duration of the growing period.-R.B. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
