Abstract
Nutrient disorders of red-leafed plant species often appear different from symptoms on green-leafed species. ‘Salanova Red’ lettuce (Lactuca sativa) plants were grown in silica sand culture to induce symptoms of several nutritional disorders.
Plants were grown with a complete modified Hoagland’s solution.
Nutrient deficiencies were induced with a complete nutrient formula withholding a single element.
Boron toxicity was also induced by increasing the element 10× higher than the complete nutrient formula.
Plants were monitored daily to document and photograph symptoms as they developed.
Several nutrient disorders led to a significant reduction in plant dry weight.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and boron deficiencies all resulted in visually redder plants.
Nutrient deficient lettuce had lower foliar nutrient concentrations than control plants.
