Abstract:: ... This study evaluated how different nitrogen forms affect growth and photosynthetic responses of cassava to CO2 concentration. Cassava was grown in 12-L pots in a greenhouse (30/25o C day / night) at 390 or 750 ppm of CO2. Three nitrogen treatments were applied: (a) 12 mM NO3-, (b) 6 mM NO3- + 6 mM NH4+, and (c) 12 mM NH4+. Thirty-six days after treatments began, plants grown under elevated CO2 and ...
