Water and Nutrient Management for Greenhouses-Cover

$22.00

Water and Nutrient Management for Greenhouses

by Natural Resource, Agriculture, and Engineering Science (NRAES)
Preparing stock solutions for proportioners; selecting substrate; interpreting leaf, substrate, and water test results; and estimating crop nutrient needs are necessary skills for managing a greenhouse for zero runoff. This publication will help greenhouse managers learn these skills. The book begins with discussions on general crop needs, balancing nutrient applications with crop demand, and the units used in measuring fertilizer quantities. Subsequent chapters go into more detail about specific components of the root zone: water, fertilizer, substrate, temperature, and the biotic environment. How to use a fertilizer proportioner and the features of a well-designed water and nutrient delivery system are discussed as well. Fifty-three tables and fifteen figures supplement the text. (1996)
