Description

Vegetables are one of the main sources of nitrogen on human diet.Nitrogen content in 30 soil samples and 30 vegetables samples are reported. The results indicate that nitrogen content was low in 33% of soil samples,normal in 50% of the samples, and high in 17% of soil samples. Reportedresults indicate that 47% of vegetables samples had low nitrogen content, 30%of them had normal nitrogen content, and 13% and 10% of them had high andvery high nitrogen content, respectively. Soil nitrogen is also reported asammonium and nitrate, and results indicate that nitrate is the dominant form ofnitrogen. There was a good correlation between soil nitrogen and vegetablesnitrogen, of R2 = 0.91, and also between nitrate and ammonium in soil andvegetables nitrogen.

Quality and safety of vegetables based on nitrogen determination and intake

Durres, Albania

Vegetables are one of the main sources of nitrogen on human diet.Nitrogen content in 30 soil samples and 30 vegetables samples are reported. The results indicate that nitrogen content was low in 33% of soil samples,normal in 50% of the samples, and high in 17% of soil samples. Reportedresults indicate that 47% of vegetables samples had low nitrogen content, 30%of them had normal nitrogen content, and 13% and 10% of them had high andvery high nitrogen content, respectively. Soil nitrogen is also reported asammonium and nitrate, and results indicate that nitrate is the dominant form ofnitrogen. There was a good correlation between soil nitrogen and vegetablesnitrogen, of R2 = 0.91, and also between nitrate and ammonium in soil andvegetables nitrogen.
