Answer: The quality of succu lent vegetables is dependent up on rapid growth and it is often necessary to make a side applica tion of quickly available nitrogen in order to maintain vigorous growth. The time of applying the side dressing will depend upon the vigor and maturity of the crop and upon seasonal condi tions. The grower must use his own judgment as to when to ap ply the side dressing.
