Abstract

Foliar diagnosis as a method for assessing the nutrient status in a grownig medium seems to be useful. It gives the relationship between the available soil nutrient concentration and the plant nutritional status. The proportionality factor (k). a parameter in the given logarithmic equation, is called the efficiency coefficient. It indicates the ability of a plant to absorb nutrients from its growing medium.
