Ammonium and nitrate are the two forms of nitrogen necessary for the development, metabolism, and key processes in plants. The effects of ammonium to nitrate ratio on gerbera plants and their significance in post-harvest vase life are still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate how different nutrient solutions affect nutrient levels in various plant organs. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with three replicates at the National Research Institute of Flowers and Ornamental Plants in Mahallat City, Iran, in 2018. The factors studied were the four ratios of ammonium to nitrate: 0:100, 20:80, 40:60, and 60:40, and two gerbera varieties: Stanza and Double Dutch. The results showed that nitrogen content in different plant organs (roots, stem, and leaves) increased with higher concentrations of ammonium in the nutrient solutions. The highest nitrogen content in the roots of gerbera was observed 35 d after the first flowering stem appeared, with a concentration of 4.38 mg N g-1 dry weight in the 60:40 ratio of ammonium to nitrate. The lowest nitrogen content was found in the flowering stem at the time of harvest, with 2.00 mg N g-1 dry weight in the 0:100 ratio of ammonium to nitrate.
El amonio y el nitrato son las dos formas de nitrógeno necesarias para el desarrollo, el metabolismo y los procesos clave en las plantas. Los efectos de la proporción de amonio a nitrato en las plantas de gerbera y su importancia en la vida postcosecha en flores de corte aún son poco conocidos. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar cómo diferentes soluciones nutritivas afectan los niveles de nutrientes en varios órganos de las plantas. El experimento se llevó a cabo utilizando un diseño completamente aleatorizado con tres repeticiones en el Instituto Nacional de Investigación de Flores y Plantas Ornamentales en la ciudad de Mahalat, Irán, en 2018. Los factores estudiados fueron las cuatro proporciónes de amonio a nitrato: 0:100, 20:80, 40:60 y 60:40, y dos variedades de flores de gerbera: Stanza y Double Dutch. Los resultados mostraron que los niveles de nitrógeno en los diferentes órganos de la planta (raíces, tallo y hojas) aumentaron con concentraciones más altas de amonio en las soluciones nutritivas. El contenido más alto de nitrógeno en las raíces de las flores de gerbera se observó 35 d después de la aparición del primer tallo floral, con una concentración de 4,38 mg N g-1 peso seco en la proporción de 60:40 de amonio a nitrato. El contenido más bajo de nitrógeno se encontró en el tallo floral al momento de la cosecha, con 2,00 mg N g-1 peso seco en la proporción de 0:100 de amonio a nitrato.
