Seasonal N Uptake
In commercial fields in the Salinas and Pajaro Valleys,
aboveground biomass N accumulation averaged approximately 20
lbs/acre through March. From April through mid-September,
aboveground biomass N increased linearly, reaching on average
190 lbs/acre (Bottoms et al., 2013).
Nitrogen Partitioning
Approximately half of the aboveground N was in strawberries,
while the other half was in leaves and the crown (Bottoms et
al., 2013).
Nitrogen Removed at Harvest
