Relationships between Plug Cell Size and Substrate Quality in the Bedding Pot Plant Impatiens wallerana (Hook. F.)

T. Williams, A. Sala, V. Feuring, E. Giardina & A. Di Benedetto · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2016

In pot plant production, balancing the air and water content in the medium is one of the largest problems. The ‘root restriction’ effects of the plug cells on seedling growth during nursery could increase after transplant and thus limits pot plant productivity. Two plug cell size...

Physiological Changes Involved in the Use of Calcium Cyanamide as a Slow-release Nitrogen Fertilizer in Impatiens wallerana (Hook.f.)

A. S ala, T. Williams, V. Feuring, E. Giardina & A. Di Benedetto · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2016

Root growth of bedding plants in small pots is usually restricted and evidently influenced by substrate quality and fertilization routine. Two pre-transplant 50- and 288-plug cells tray-1 were used. Plants were grown in two growing media and fertilized with liquid feeding and pre...
