Plant tissue analysis and interpretation for vegetable | G. Hochmuth, D. Maynard, C. Vavrina, E. Hanlon and E. Simonne

Plant tissue testing is another tool for use in achieving a high degree of precision in fertilizer management. Timely tissue testing can help diagnose suspected nutrient problems or can simply assist in learning more about fertilizer management efficiency. Improved fertilization management for vegetables is important in view of today's need to reduce production costs, conserve natural resources, and minimize possible negative environmental impacts. These goals can be achieved through optimum management of the fertilizers applied.
