Abstract

The growth of plants in nutrient solutions is an invaluable tool for mineral nutrition studies. Successful growth of plants in nutrient solutions require special attention and consideration. Details and helpful ideas for the growth of plants in nutrient solutions are often omitted in publications where techniques like these are used. The objective of this report is to focus on some of the concerns, successes, experiences, and problems noted for the growth of sorghum and corn in nutrient solutions. Topics discussed are nutrient solution composition, pH of nutrient solutions, phosphorus concentrations, sources of Fe in solutions, plus several suggestions and comments for successful growth of sorghum and corn in nutrient solutions.
