Nitrogen fertilization in ornamental plant production based on in-season demands through proximal sensing and soil modelling KU Leuven
Marie-Christine Van Labeke, Hilde Vandendriessche
The ornamental plant production sector produces high quality products, but faces challenges in times of increasing environmental constraints.
Growth patterns and nitrogen uptake dynamics of five ornamental crops were determined during three growing seasons (2016-2018). This resulted in nitrogen uptake quantities sufficient for optimum plant quality.
Open field production of herbaceous and woody ornamentals is characterized by a ...
