The influence of irrigation frequency (same amount of water per day given at different times) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer rate on water stress [stomatal conductance (gs)], N uptake, and growth (biomass) of container-grown evergreen Rhododendron 'P.J.M. Compact' and 'English Roseum' and deciduous Rhododendron 'Gibraltar' was evaluated. Both N deficiency and...
