Plant Nutrition of Greenhouse Crops


Product Description
Greenhouse cultivation is noted for its high uptake of minerals, consistent climatic conditions, exclusion of natural precipitation and control of salt accumulation. Acknowledging that plant nutrition in greenhouse cultivation differs in many essentials from field production, this volume details specific information about testing methods for soils and substrates in a greenhouse environment. It does so while offering a universally applicable analysis. This is based on the composition of the soil and substrate solutions, methods for the interpretation of tissue tests, and crop responses on salinity and water supply in relation to fertilizer application. Fertilizer additions, related to analytical data of soil and substrate samples, are presented for a wide range of vegetable and ornamental crops. The subject is especially apt now as substrate growing offers excellent possibilities for the optimal use of water and nutrients, as well as the potential for sustainable production methods for greenhouse crops.

The book is full of relevant information, not only on the peculiarities of plant nutrition under protected cultivation, but also on fertility management, substrate properties and management and even hard to find topics, such as the influence of organic matter on greenhouse soils. There is a vast and up-to-date review of literature on the subject. As it is a general textbook, one may miss some more information on greenhouse horticulture outside Northern Europe. The book needs a review on English language grammar. I highly recommend it to growers, researchers and students working with fertility management and plant nutrition under greenhouse.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Plant Nutrition of Greenhouse Crops" are high quality item.
