2018 ASHS Annual Conference

There are a variety of new non-destructive methods for assessing the nutrient status of horticultural crops. Destructive methods are expensive, relatively time consuming, and rely on laboratory analysis. Non-destructive methods are rapid and less expensive, but may be less accurate. There are many field and remote sensing techniques that are now available for assessing plant nutrient status. A variety of commercially sensors will be discussed and demonstrated during the workshop. Attendees will have hands-on demonstrations with several of these sensors and learn how they operate.
