used to adjust substrate pH, or a dilution effect of dry mass and a consistent volume of MgSO 4 applied. Sulfur. The recommended range for leaf tissue S concentration for the genera Hibiscus is between 0.2% and 0.5% ( Bryson and Mills, 2014 ). Lower

taste and processing quality ( Nindo et al., 2005 ). Reduced soluble solids was likely a dilution effect and a result of larger berries in the treatment ( Greer and Weedon, 2014 ). The effects of cooling on fruit soluble solids are inconsistent in other

in comparison with Mg concentration at 3 WAT may be attributed to the antagonistic effect of K from the fertilizer source, reduced residual effect of the dolomitic limestone used to adjust substrate pH, or a dilution effect of dry mass and a

susceptibility to a pathogen may suppress diseases by four possible mechanisms ( Wolfe, 1985 ). First, a dilution effect occurs by increasing the distance between susceptible plants, thus slowing the rate of plant-to-plant spread by pathogens. Additionally, a

comparison with open field ( Tables 2 and 3 ). One possible explanation is the dilution effect of N compounds in plant tissue due to faster and enhanced vegetative growth under LTs caused by more favorable microenvironment and increased heat index ( Acharya

treatments ( Table 2 ), as reported by Elmer and Pignatello (2011) ; this may be due to the dilution effect of N in faster growing plant tissue, and not to differences in uptake of N among treatments ( Jarrell and Beverly, 1981 ). Foliar contents of Mg and

rate, possibly because of a dilution effect associated with increased bulb growth. Rates of beef cattle compost, in contrast, were found to have no effect on onion bulb dry weight ( Lee, 2012 ). In conclusion, onion total and marketable yields increased

decades ( Davis, 2009 , 2011 ; Davis et al., 2004 ), similar to the downward trend or “dilution effect” in mineral concentration of wheat ( Fan et al., 2008 ). The rationale for drawing firm conclusions for vegetable nutrient content based on historical

plant at the lower fertilizer rate could result in a nutrient concentrations being equal due to a dilution effect even though more N, for example, was absorbed at the higher fertilizer rates. This hypothesis could not be tested because tissue levels were
