demand). Fertilizer application rates are commonly determined in nursery production based on the assumption that water availability does not limit nutrient uptake and that container capacity should be maintained to promote plant growth and nutrient uptake
as ascorbate, glutathione, and α-tocopherol ( Asada, 1996 ). Hyperaccumulator plants represent a resource for remediation of heavy-metal-polluted sites because they can tolerate, uptake, and translocate heavy metals into their biomass at levels toxic
, commercial fertilizer application early in propagation before root formation may be required to recharge leached nutrients from the substrate. Water-soluble fertilizer applications before root emergence may also facilitate foliar uptake of nutrients ( Tukey
water ( Derkowska et al., 2015 ). Currently, organic fertilizers derived from manure, worm castings, peat, and poultry guano have been used to attain efficient organic crop production of several plant species ( Aluko et al., 2014 ). They increase the
uptake through the skin surface. Here, the rate is related to the difference between the value of Ψ for an adhering water droplet (probably very close to zero) and that of the epidermis ( Beyer and Knoche, 2002 ). Second, for vascular flow through the
grew and used water and nutrients, more was given to those treatments. As a result of faster plant growth in the sun treatments, water and nutrients were supplied more frequently. In that sense, P uptake was driven by demand, but P supply was also
for crop growth stage, plant uptake of minerals, substrate characteristics, water quality, and climate conditions ( Bugbee, 2004 ; Hochmuth and Hochmuth, 2018 ; Trejo-Téllez and Gómez-Merino, 2012 ). To avoid precipitation and substitution reactions

Greenhouses use large amounts of water in their operations ( Robbins, 2010 ). Capturing and recycling irrigation runoff is one way that commercial greenhouses can conserve water while reducing fertilizer inputs and minimizing their environmental
