Understanding Plant Nutrition series
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:14 pm
I was searching fertilizer information today and came across this series of articles starting in 2008 published in Greenhouse Grower, a trade magazine for the horticultural industry. The series is called Understanding Plant Nutrition and ended up being 22 topics long and covers a lot of ground. Some of the last articles were on specific plants and do not apply to us. I added in a few others that were not part of the series, but apply. Each article is not long and is easy to read. Most of the Figures and Tables are not found in the articles. I don't know if that is due to me not being logged in or not. I am not a subscriber.
Particularly interesting is how media pH can be affected by the form of the nitrogen in a fertilizer, but only when it is used by the plants. The plant roots modify the media depending on the Nitrogen form they are taking up.
