From outdoor lysimeter experiments the relationship between growth rate relative to the maximum at each sampling time and leaf N concentration was used to derive diagnostic petiole sap nitrate-N, leaf nitrate-N and total N in the youngest fully opened leaf (YFOL), the youngest fully expanded leaf (YFEL) and the oldest green leaf (OL) and bulked leaf total N concentrations. Critical concentration corresponded to 90 percent maximum growth rate and adequate concentration corresponded to 91-100 percent maximum growth rate. The concentrations of K, P, Ca, Mg and S in YFOL, YFEL, OL and bulked leaf corresponding to N treatments producing maximum growth rates are also presented.
