Horticultural trial
Looking at reduced nutrition impact on tomato growth rate. Replicated block with no significant difference between full rates and 50% Fertilizer plus inhibitor based additive.
Mini rhizotron root staining
Not one of the most exciting things to do. Cellulose staining perennial ryegrass roots treated with foliar root stimulants in a mini rhizotron. Hopefully the results more exciting!
How quick is that!
The perfect recipe! Warm weather, shallow water and add a touch of nutrient and bingo! 7 days later algae forming. Now best figure out the whys and how to best manage it.
Foliar root stimulants trial with no Fertilizer
As stand alone nutritional products for producing an acceptable playing surface none of these are working. Root analysis next
“Popcorning” as with most things “cheap” with PCSU Fertilizer cheap is nasty. 4 days after application this has already dumped. What a waste of $$
Trials
Another day setting up a trial into root growth as effected by so called foliar root stimulants
