Description

Don C. Wilkerson et al.. The use of fertilizers & pesticides is a very important aspect of the commercial production of high quality greenhouse crops. In the U.S. alone, agricultural applicators have increased the use of nitrogen fertilizers from two million tons in 1955 to more than 12 million tons in 1990. Pesticide use has more than tripled since 1964, with approximately 1.5 billion pounds per year being applied. This guide provides growers both with recommendations for optimum growth & with production alternatives to help reduce the use of fertilizers & pesticides.
