Leaf Nitrogen content in oil palm seedlings and their relationship to SPAD chlorophyll meter readings
The SPAD chlorophyll meter is a useful tool to assess Nitrogen (N) fertilizer requirement for many field crops with the advantages of rapid and in-field crop N status measurement. The objective of this study was to provide a direct comparison between SPAD meter readings versus leaf N concentrations...

Nine genotypes of oil palm were subjected to N stress conditions and then followed by N recovery. SPAD readings and the leaf N concentrations were measured to monitor the oil palm recovery responses induced by the stress condition.
