e1“Slow-release nutrient sources produced larger, higher quality Ilex crenata Thunb. ‘Hetzi’ plants than liquid fertilization at the same rates”
e2“Salable quality plants were produced in one growing season by using Osmocote in the propagation medium and incorporating isobutylidene diurea (IBDU) and fritted potassium (K-frit) or Osmocote plus dolomite, single-superphosphate, and micronutrients into the container-growing medium prior to transplanting liners”

- Intervention effect Slow-release nutrient sources produced larger Ilex crenata Thunb. plants than liquid fertilization at the same rates.
- Intervention effect Slow-release nutrient sources produced higher quality Ilex crenata Thunb. plants than liquid fertilization at the same rates.
- Observation A wide range of IBDU,K-frit gave satisfactory Ilex crenata production results.
- Observation Nutrition during propagation was essential for the best growth of Ilex crenata and utilization of subsequent container nutrition.
- Intervention effect Cuttings from Ilex crenata plants grown with IBDU, K-frit rooted better than cuttings from plants grown with Osmocote or liquid fertilizer.
