Effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and B-Nine on the growth of Brompton stocks (Matthiola incana). In The International Plant Propagators' Society Combined Proceedings, 30, 1980.

Nitrogen strongly promoted growth which was further enhanced by high K. Deficiency symptoms occurred at low K whereas there was little demand for P, and it tended to depress the response to N. A foliar spray of B9 strongly reduced height and was temporarily phytotoxic at 5000 and 6000 ppm. The two concentrations offset the response to N particularly at 450 and 600g N/m3 where there was a mild N X B9 negative interaction for foliar dry weight.ennitrogenphosphoruspotassiumB-Ninebrompton stocksbedding plantsMatthiola incanaplant speciesplant growingJournal ArticleANZSRC::060702 Plant Cell and Molecular BiologyANZSRC::060703 Plant Developmental and Reproductive BiologyANZSRC::060705 Plant Physiology
