subirrigation watering ( Barrett, 1991 ; Dole et al., 1994 ). Similarly, reduced controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) rates are recommended when capillary mat irrigation is used ( Havis, 1982 ). When leaching is reduced or eliminated, buildup of fertilizer salts

.2) versus high (0.4 to 0.6) LF. Use of controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) has increased mineral nutrient use efficiency by supplying nutrients corresponding with plant demand and minimizing pathways of losses (e.g., microbial transformation, soil

( Cox, 1997 ), whereas some commercial growers often deliver 125 to 150 ppm of nitrogen to bedding plants and geraniums. By altering the placement of controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) within containers, growth of traditional weeds can be decreased

a fixed-rate irrigation schedule. The two irrigation schedules were evaluated using two controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) application rates to determine if fertilizer efficiency could be increased with ET-based irrigation. Materials and Methods

conditions are suboptimal. Managing Nursery Crops With Species-Specific Fertilizer Rates Applying controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) is a common practice in containerized nursery crop production. In a temperate climate, Clark and Zheng (p. 370) found

efficiency has been achieved by optimizing rates of fertilization using controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs), reducing water volume applied, and adjusting water application timing. However, current BMPs recommend CRFs be used to maintain substrate solution
