Water is an important resource for growing plants. Plants, by weight, are comprised of 90 to 95 percent water. Chemicals in irrigation water can impact the growth of plants, especially container-grown plants, due to their restricted root growth and the high potential for change of soilless media with relatively low buffering capacities.
Proper plant nutrition is essential for successful greenhouse production of floricultural crops. As growers move towards substrates that do not contain mineral soil, micronutrient status of substrates and plants becomes more important.
