Mineral Nutrition Studied by soil-free culture in nutrient solutions:
Mineral Nutrition Studied by soil-free culture in nutrient solutions: Hoagland’s is best known
Mineral Nutrition Soil-free culture Sand culture: don’t really control nutrients
Mineral Nutrition Soil-free culture Sand culture: don’t really control nutrients Hydroponics: immerse roots in nutrient solution
Mineral Nutrition Soil-free culture Sand culture: don’t really control nutrients Hydroponics: immerse roots in nutrient solution Rapidly deplete nutrients & O 2 & alter pH
