regions, irrigation is essential for crop productivity. In the southeastern United States, young peach trees typically are not irrigated until 3 or 4 years after planting. Thus, rain is the sole water source until this stage. Dry spring and summer seasons
Abstract
Transplants of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. Capitata group) grown in growth chambers under continuous illumination of 310 μE m−2sm−1 (21.5 ± 1.1 klx) and temperature of 20 ± 1°C developed tipburn-like symptoms on young leaves within 8 to 14 days when maintained at 82% but not at 52% relative humidity (RH). Plants had larger leaves and greater fresh and dry weights at 82% than at 52% RH.
which these symptoms occur. Thus, the objective of this work was to study the response of young olive plants to P application, to determine the critical values which may cause deficiency or toxicity symptoms in these plants to a better understanding of P
