Research Project:
Irrigation Method and Substrate Composition for Nutrient and Water Use Efficiency for Containerized Nursery Crops
Location:
Horticulture and Breeding Research
Project Number: 6618-13000-002-03
Project Type:
Specific C/A
Start Date: Sep 26, 2002
End Date: Sep 25, 2005
Objective:
To assess irrigation method (scheduling) and substrate composition on plant growth and physiology, on water and nutrient use efficiency, and on substrate physical and chemical properties for selected containerized nursery crops.
Approach:
Record effluent volume and calculate water use efficiency, determine plant tissue and substrate N and P, and photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance for selected containerized nursery crops under various irrigation schedules (volume and timing) and substrate compositions (percent clay).
