Abstract

Abstract Wax myrtle plants in 20 or 30 cm soil depths of peat, sand and soil mixture (1:1:1 v/v) were subirrigated for 75 days during January to April. Capillary watering maintained moisture adequate for plant growth in soil up to 30 cm depth. Plant growth improved in direct relation to the concentration of mineral nutrients applied to the medium surface as solutions of 20:8.6:16.6 (N-P-K) fertlizer. No toxic levels of soluble salts were detected even at the highest fertlizer rate. Adequate growth was produced in both soil depths but best with the 8× Solution and 20 cm depth and the 4× and 8× solutions with the 30 cm depth.
