Jong-Goo Kang; Marc van Iersel HortScience 2000. doi:10.21273/hortsci.35.3.457a
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Temperature and fertilizer EC affected growth.
- Association Optimal fertilizer EC declined with increasing temperature.
- Association Growth correlated better with medium EC than fertilizer solution EC.
- Association Growth was best at medium EC between 3 and 4 dS·m –1.
- Association Lower medium EC slowed growth.
- Intervention effect Medium fertilizer concentrations above 4 dS·m –1 decreased growth.
- Association Medium EC rose with fertilizer solution EC.
- Association Medium EC rose with temperature.
- Recommendation Use more dilute fertilizer solutions at higher temperatures.
