TI  - Nitrogen Fertilization Affects Growth, Yield, Nitrate and Mineral Content of Garden Cress (Lepidium sativum L.)
AB  - Garden cress is rich in carotenoids, vitamin C, fiber, flavonoids, selenium, s-methyl cysteine, sulfoxide and glucosinolates. Nitrogen deficiency is a limiting factor for plant growth. The study was conducted in Atatürk University, in Erzurum under field conditions in 2013 and 2014. The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of the different ratios of nitrogen on growth, yield and some quality properties of garden cress (cv. Dadaş). Treatments consisted of Nmin (mineral nitrogen in the soil layer 0–30 cm at planting; i.e. no basal nitrogen fertilization) (Control), 50, 100 and 150 kg N $ha^{-1}$ doses as ammonium nitrate. The effect of different nitrogen doses on the plant height and yield in the cress was statistically significant. The highest plant height and yield was observed in 100 kg N $ha^{-1}$ . Generally, $NO_3$ and the other elements in garden cress increased with increasing nitrogen doses. In conclude 82.17 kg N $ha^{-1}$ can be suggested for higher yield and quality for Dadaş garden cress variety in sand soil conditions according to the regression analysis
