models that allow the prediction of nitrogen nutritional needs of Dieffenbachia amoena to increase the N use efficiency in a recycled system. To achieve these aims, N uptake has been correlated to climate parameters such as temperature (T), vapor
covariance in each year with PAR as the independent covariate because there were annual differences in the response. To evaluate the effect of PF and irrigation treatments on A over the range of vapor pressure deficit (VPD), assimilation data for the PF and
also calculated vapor pressure and VPD every 5 min using temperature and humidity measurements. Maximum, minimum, and daily average values were recorded for PAR , temperature, relative humidity, vapor pressure, saturation vapor pressure, and VPD. On
