|
Greenhouse bedding plant grow out of the petunia, Supercascade variety was conducted in 4 inch (10cm) diameter pots to compare the effects of various ZeoponiX medium
formulations, supplemental soluble fertilizer rates and ZeoponiX amendment rates. Studies were replicated complete randomized block experiments involving nine (9) treatments:
four (4) different proprietary zeoponic formulations (NPK and minor nutrients) and controls. ZeoponiX formulations were incorporated at a standard volumetric rate with a peat:perlite
blend. Soluble fertilizer was fed at 50%(0.5x), full (1.0 x) and 150%(1.5x) weekly with 20-10-20.; 200 ppm being full (1.0 x) fertility. The two photos illustrate the significant
improvement in plant performance for one ZeoponiX medium (labeled Z3com) versus one control (labeled B). The ZeoponiX treatment had higher bloom count and better color than the control., despite lower
fertilization. The photos were taken at 15 weeks after transplanting into the 4 inch (10cm) pots. |
