✦ Synopsis
When grown in solution culture spinach plants conÐrmed the preference toward nutrition and showed heavy toxicity to In open Ðeld NO 3 ~NH 4 `. condition the highest yield was achieved with the ammonium sulphate in Bari (autumnÈwinter cycleÈ110 days) and with calcium nitrate in Policoro (winterÈ spring cycleÈ64 days)
. By increasing N level, yield, nitrates and oxalates leaf content increased. Oxalate content was not a †ected by nitrogen form. Remarkable di †erences were observed between leaf petiole and blade in nitrate (4062 vs 925 mg kg~1 of fresh mass) and oxalate (1051 vs 6999 mg kg~1 of fresh mass).
