FOLIAR DIAGNOSIS: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1937 As a result of the broader view now taken with respect to the problems of soil fertility it is recognized that the conditions required for maximum growth must be sought from the facts of plant physiology as well as from those of soil science. For satisfactory growth a particular soil must satisfy certain conditions with respect to temperature, and to ...

Relationships between nutrient composition of flowers and fruit quality in orange trees grown in calcareous soil [PDF]
, 2005 To determine if flower nutrient composition can be used to predict fruit quality, a field experiment was conducted over three seasons (1996-1999) in a commercial orange orchard (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv.

Balance design for robust foliar nutrient diagnosis of “Prata” banana (Musa spp.) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThe “Cavendish” and “Prata” subgroups represent respectively 47% and 24% of the world banana production. Compared to world average progressing from 10.6 to 20.6 t ha−1between 1961 and 2016, and despite sustained domestic demand and the introduction of new cultivars, banana yield in Brazil has stagnated around 14.5 t ha−1mainly due to nutrient ...

Temporary nutrient deficiency - a difficult case for diagnosis and prognosis by plant analysis [PDF]
, 2000 Plant analysis aims to either detect deficiency at the time of sampling (diagnosis) or predict its occurrence at a later stage of growth (prognosis). Its use is based on the presumption that the plant nutrient status will either be constant with plant ...

FOLIAR DIAGNOSIS: THE INFLUENCE OF THE SOIL ON THE ACTION OF FERTILIZERS [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1939 In an earlier paper (?) reference was made to the fact that no piece of land, however carefully selected for experimental purposes, is absolutely uniform. If the area is divided into equal sections and the sections sub-divided into plots of the same size, the yields from similarly treated duplicate plots planted on the same day with selected ...
