Nutrient Uptake and Partitioning in Oriental Lilium

Fertilization programs in lilium are suggested to start after shoot emergence or when the flower buds become visible because nutrients stored bulb adequate meet plant demands at transplant time. Defining nutrient uptake is essential determine periods of high demand and amounts which they should be provided. The objective this study was model accumulated Oriental provide insight into design environmentally sound fertilization programs. most demanded macronutrient K (1272.8 mg/plant), followed by N (719.1 mg/plant) Ca (119.7 while Zn (140.7 Fe (137.7 were micronutrients. At end season, (78.0%), P (55.0%) (54.3%) originated from bulb, whereas (86.5%), Mn (84.8%) Mg (62.9%) uptaken roots. During first 15 days transplant, 35.1% absorbed substrate, as well 91.0% Mg, 68.6% S, 49.6% 13.0% P, suggesting that for results suggest Ca, Fe, Cu remobilized bulb.
