With tabulated data used to correlate information to nutritional needs, it includes diagnosis of the nutritional status of plants through assessment of plant appearance and composition. It discusses the value of soil tests for evaluating the nutritional status of plants. The text also examines fertilizers that can be applied to remedy nutritional deficiencies in plants."--Publisher description.
