for bedding plant crops are listed below. Our recommendation solution for each problem is also listed. I am not a plant nutritionist. However, I have had to develop simple, practical solutions to solve common nutritional problems. The solutions come from years of mulling over soil tests, looking at problems

The term “mycorrhiza ” was coined by A. B.Frank, a scientist in Germany, more than 100 years ago. It literally means fungus-root, and describes the mutualistic association existing between a group of soil fungi and higher plants. The association is based on the plant component providing

1 Hand Planter for Maize (Zea mays L.) in the Developing World Maize (Zea mays L.) grain yields in the developing world hover near 2 Mg ha-1. Planting maize involves placing two to three seeds per hill, with hills being roughly 30 cm apart. Variability in seeds per hill and distance between hills

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is currently being evaluated as a raw material for producing fuel, chemicals, and electricity. Switchgrass biomass is bound by the growing environment that includes fertility. More information is needed on sustainable switch-grass production as influenced by nitrogen fertility and harvest management. Field experiments were initiated at Chickasha and Perkins, OK in 1996 and 1998, respectively to evaluate switchgrass

nutrition management practices need to be identified to ensure both enhanced and sustainable agricultural production and to conservation of natural resources. Particular emphasis should be put on efficient management of plant nutrients and nutrient cycling, identification of plant genotypes having tolerance

Abstract Several studies have been carried out on the application of titanium in plant nutrition in recent decades. They indicate that this element has a positive effect on crop phenological events such as germination, root formation, vegetative growth, maturation, as well as resistance to biotic

in this vital area of plant and soil science. Includes special symposium issues that focus on essential nutrients, heavy metals, and trace elements. Refereed by an internationally renowned editorial board ensuring the high level of scholarship, the Journal of Plant Nutrition provides insightful coverage

Plant physiologists generally credit van Helmont (1577-1644) with one of the first recorded experiments in plant science. Indeed, historians of natural science frequently refer to his work as a very early example of a deliberate ex-periment to test a hypothesis. The ex-periment in question
