Effect of nutrition on growth and flower bud formation of Rhododendron cultivated on ebb and flow benches
2004

Growth and flower bud formation of Rhododendron Blurettia, Percy Wiseman, and Bengal on ebb and flow benches flooded with nutrient solution containing 60, 120, and 180 mg N/cubic dm. 20, 40, or 60 mg P/cubic dm and 60 or 120 mg K/cubic dm were evaluated. The best growth of all cultivars was obtained at 180 mg N/cubic dm while increasing P and K levels did not stimulate growth of plants. Bengal did not form flower buds at all but flowering of Blurettia was stimulated by high N level while for Percy Wiseman N level 120 mg/cibic dm and increased K to 120 mg/cubic dm ensured the best flower bud set. P level did not affect flowering
