Interpretive Summary
| 2012 | A balance between nutrient inputs and crop removal is required for effective long-term crop production. Although nutrient removal estimates are readily available for many field crops, such values for fruit and vegetable crops are rare. The objective of this project is to determine nutrient removal values for major fruits and vegetable crops grown in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. |
| 2011 | A balance between nutrient inputs and crop removal is required for effective long-term crop production. Although nutrient removal estimates are readily available for many field crops, such values for fruit and vegetable crops are rare. The objective of this project is to determine nutrient removal values for major fruits and vegetable crops grown in South Texas, and to use the information to help refine fertilizer recommendations for yield and quality. |
