What plants have a high nitrate req

Hey crew,

Have not seen this covered before so the question is what AP plants use a lot/little nutrients?

Tomatos are heavy nitrogen/nitrate feeders....

found the following info on the web...

Quote:

For instance, heavy nitrogen feeders like lettuce tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, cabbage, and corn, do well to follow heavy nitrogen givers like beans and peas. Light nitrogen feeders like root vegetables can give the soil a rest before heavier feeders come again. This is called crop rotation, and it is a type of companion planting over time.

Also Broccoli is a heavy feeder, cole is also

Hopefully if we compile a list it will help others in the future
