SUMMARYThe possibility of using seasonal changes in leaf nitrate reductase activity (NRA) as a reliable and sensitive indicator of plant nitrogen (N) status has been investigated in field-grown cotton. These changes were compared with those in nitrate concentration in petioles and variations in soil-N concentration. We conclude that NRA in the uppermost, fully-expanded sympodial leaves may provide a more convenient, sensitive and reliable indicator of plant-N status than measurements of nitrate concentrations in petioles.
