Diagnosis Using Stem Base Extract: JUBIL Method

  • Chapter
Diagnosis of the Nitrogen Status in Crops

Abstract

In this chapter, the principle and validation of the JUBIL method are presented. The value and limits of this method for winter wheat and maize crops are then analyzed. This research was carried out in collaboration with ITCF5 and AGPM6.
