| dc.description.abstract | Chrysanthemum morifolium L. cv. Nobhill was grown as standard disbuds in containers containing 4 soilless media--peat:perlite 50:50 v/v, peat:vermiculite 50:50, pine bark:peat:haydite 33:33:33, and ground heart cedar:vermiculite 50:50--with trace elements F.T.E. 175, F.T.E. 503, and GU-49 incorporated into each at 57 g/m3, 113 g/m3, and 227 g/m3. All plants received identical macronutrient fertilization. Plants were evaluated for appearance, weight, height, flower size, and elemental analysis. All results were subjected to Dunnett's Statistical Analysis. Pine bark:peat:haydite produced the best plants of any medium tested. F.T.E 503 at 57 g/m3 produced the best plants of any micro-nutrient source tested. This was attributed to the amounts of Mn and Zn available to the plant. | en |
