Abstract Reduction of irrigation level on leatherleaf fern [ Rumohra adiantiformis (G. Forst) Ching] to 150 cm/year from 311 cm/year (recommended rate) had no effect on frond yield or fresh weight and increased vase life on 3 of 7 harvest dates. Nitrogen sources of urea or NH 4 NO 3 did not affect frond yield or fresh weight, but there were some minor variable effects on vase life.
