Comparative Foliar Analysis of Young Balsam Fir Fertilized With Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Lime

Abstract: Foliar analyses of individually fertilized balsam fir trees [Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.] were examined to explain significant growth responses and nutrient status changes. Treatments consisted of factorial combinations of N, P, and K, and one separate treatment of dolomitic lime. Simultaneous comparisons of first year changes in foliar nutrient concentration, content, and dry weight simplified assessment of deficiency, dilution, and luxury consumption. N fertilization increased both needle dry weight and N comp… Show more

“…Similar problems associated with excessive use of concentration data alone and improper use of terminology have been detected in plant nutrient studies several decades www.intechopen.com ago (e.g. Timmer and Stone 1978;Smith et al 1981), which unfortunately is still common in current literature. There is now strong evidence to demonstrate that conclusions derived from such results may be misleading if any one of these plant parameters is excluded from the interpretation of plant nutrient analysis.…”

“…2). Growth dilution may also occur due to imbalanced nutrition, resulting in a decline in concentration of a non-limiting nutrient as a result of increased availability of a limiting factor (Armson, 1977;Timmer and Stone 1978), as demonstrated by Munson and Timmer (1989) using vector nutrient analysis (Fig. 4).…”

“…Analytical Procedures We employed graphic vector analysis (GVA) for representing and interpreting the fundamental changes in the plants' growth and phytochemical components in response to different treatments (Timmer and Stone, 1978;Haase and Rose, 1995;Koricheva, 1999). This method, although laborious, has been proposed as an alternative to simply examining phytochemical concentrations to understand environmental effects on carbon partitioning to the synthesis of the target compounds (Koricheva, 1999).…”
