Improving Artichoke Root Development, Transplant Quality

Caption

A study of globe artichoke determined impacts of pretransplant management of nitrogen and fertigation system on transplant quality and subsequent growth. Photos show artichoke transplant roots after 8 week of fertigation using 150 and 75 ppm N solution (top), and evaluation of transplant stem plasticity and root quality determined by using a digital force attached to a vertical motorized force tester (bottom).
