Assessing Plant Nutrient Status during the Growing Season: Laboratory Tools
Thursday, August 2, 2018: 10:30 AM
Lincoln West (Washington Hilton)
OVERVIEW:
Monitoring the nutrient status of horticultural crops during the growing season provides valuable information regarding plant health. A hands-on demonstration will be made of proper tissue sampling, petiole extraction and analysis, and destructive sampling techniques. The analytical process of working through a certified laboratory to achieve reliable results will be demonstrated by showing inter-lab variation. A virtual tour of a working plant analysis laboratory will be presented as part of the workshop.
The final abstract will be submitted upon approval of the workshop.
