2018 ASHS Annual Conference
Plant Nutrition Diagnostics *CEU Approved*
Plant Nutrition Diagnostics *CEU Approved*
Objective(s):
Proper management of plant nutrients has economic, environmental, and social impacts. New diagnostic tools are continually being developed to allow horticulturists to improve their use of both inorganic and organic nutrient sources. This workshop demonstrates new approaches and techniques for predicting plant nutrient requirements, assessing nutritional adequacy, and diagnosing nutritional problems that arise during the growing season. Tools and methods for field evaluation and for laboratory diagnosis will be demonstrated. Participation and hands-on demonstrations will be available during the workshop. Attendees will learn about the latest science in predicting and measuring nutrient adequacy.

Predicting and assessing the adequacy of mineral nutrition for plants has important economic and environmental implications. New tools and modern approaches assist growers to appropriately use both inorganic and organic nutrient sources. This workshop reviews and demonstrates modern equipment and techniques for making in-field and laboratory assessments plant nutrient status.
