Variation of almond yield, biometry, α‐tocopherol levels, and antioxidant properties with nitrogen fertilization
This article studies the usage of a sustainable nitrogen fertilization program toward a reduction of their alternate behavior, preserving and promoting their antioxidant properties and their levels of phytochemicals, particularly α‐tocopherol and polyphenols. Our findings may provide a useful guide for adequate nitrogen fertilization program toward a better almond kernel quality.
