Balance and concentration of nitrogen and potassium affect growth and nutrient status in soilless cultivated lisianthus

Reduced Growth in Eustoma under High Nutrient and Phytotoxic Organic Acid Concentrations and Recovery through Hot Water Conditioning of Continuously Cropped Soil

“…Eustoma plants require high nutrient levels (Frett et al 1988;Marchese et al 2005) and continue to accumulate dry matter and minerals after the flower bud has become visible (de Camargo et al 2004;Ushio and Fukuta 2010). The nutrient level is usually kept relatively high during vegetative growth (Alvarado-Camarillo et al 2018;Hern andez-P erez et al 2016;Mendoza-Villarreal et al 2015), and salt accumulation in soil could be a problem without proper leaching (Mendoza-Villarreal et al 2015).…”
