THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT MAGNESIUM SUPPLY ON GROWTH OF PELARGONIUM

Zsuzsa Turi Farkas, Judit Pető, Attila Hüvely

Abstract


Pelargonium is one of the most "traditional" balcony plants. It has a relatively high nutrient requirement, so it needs continuous nutrient supply. In our study we used the red-flowered 'Victor Improved' variety of Pelargonium zonale, made by the German PAC Elsner breeding company. In our experiment a long-acting fertilizer was used as a base fertilizer, and the nutrient supply was performed with a complex fertilizer in 0.5 to 1.5 ‰ concentration. The nutrient supply was carried out with a 2.4 mS EC solution of Volldünger fertilizer and with the 1.5% solution of FitoHorm 24 Mg, as a leaf fertilizer. In our research we followed the effect of nutrient supply on the ornamental value and the beginning of flowering time, and we measured the number of flowers, plant height and plant extension as well.
