Faba bean fertiliser trial – Spring Ridge 2016

To study the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) application separately and in combination on the growth and yield of faba bean.This experiment aimed to study the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) application separately and in combination on the growth and yield of faba bean. A small amount of N at sowing might improve yield through faster establishment and groundcover. There is also little local data available on faba bean response to additional P.

本实验旨在探究单施与配施氮（N）、磷（P）对蚕豆（faba bean）生长与产量的影响。播种时少量施加氮肥可通过加快植株建植与提升地面覆盖度，进而提高产量。目前关于蚕豆对额外施磷的响应的本地可用数据仍较为匮乏。
