Description |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A
plant tissue analysis offers a snapshot of the plant's tissue
nutrient content at the time of sampling. An early analysis
allows for deficiencies and toxicities to be detected, and proper
corrective actions to be implemented before permanent physiological
damage occurs. Unless otherwise specified, the youngest fully-expanded
lead should be sampled. Maria decides to send in a sample of
youngest, fully-expanded leaves collected from several plants
exhibiting symptomology. |
