e0“Chrysanthemum [ Dendranthema ×grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitamura] growth and nutrient leaching of three clinoptilolite-based root media—NZ, EZ1, and EZ2—were compared to the performance of control plants grown in Sunshine Mix #2”
e3“EZ2 did not receive P or K from soluble fertilizer and produced plants similar to the control based on rating, height, and dry mass, but not width or fresh mass, with soluble fertilizer input reduced to N alone”
Title

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect The NZ root medium with untreated zeolite leached lower concentrations of NH4-N, K and PO4-P than the control during most of the production cycle.
- Intervention effect EZ1 medium plants were similar to the control in ratings, height and width at harvest with half the fertilizer rate.
- Intervention effect EZ1 medium plants were similar to the control in dry mass at harvest with half the fertilizer rate.
- Intervention effect EZ1 medium plants differed from the control in fresh mass at harvest with half the fertilizer rate.
- Intervention effect EZ2 medium plants were similar to the control in rating, height and dry mass with soluble fertilizer reduced to N alone.
- Intervention effect Tissue N, P and K concentrations of chrysanthemum grown in EZ1 and EZ2 were lower than in control plants.
- Recommendation The zeolite-based root media are promising for decreasing nutrient leaching during chrysanthemum crop production and for allowing lower soluble fertilizer rates.
