The effect of nitrogen and sulphur fertilization on the yield and content of sulforaphane and nitrates in cauliflower
In the field experiment with cauliflower, we investigated the effect of four different variants of nitrogen and suplhur fertilization on quantity and quality of cauliflower in the term of sulforaphane content and nitrate accumulation. The influence of fertilization was statistically significant betw...
