| Abstract:
Nutrient regimes for transplant production sometimes differ greatly among the various crops grown and the type of irrigation employed. Other variables such as environmental conditions due to location of the transplant facility and seasonality dictate continued research for optimizing fertility and irrigation procedures for containerized vegetable transplant production. More recently, continued refinement of the floatation irrigation system offers growers the ability to better control diseases in the greenhouse and overall plant growth. The present overview rates much of the recent literature related to optimizing vegetable transplant nutrition. | |
