The effect that application of nitrogen-phosphorus (NP) rates exerts on some parameters of nitrogen metabolism and on yield in aubergine plants (eggplant, Solanummelongena cv. Bonica) was studied. All plants were grown under controlled conditions in an experimental greenhouse. The treatments consisted of the combination of three rates of N in the form of KNO3 (N1: 15 g m-2, N2: 22.5 g m,-2 and ...
