2016 The Corliss Knapp Engle Scholarship in Horticulture
Josh Henry is a master’s student at North Carolina State University studying plant nutrition in floriculture crops. His project is looking at the effects of low phosphorus fertilization regiments in greenhouse produced annuals and potted plants. The three main aspects being considered are using low phosphorus rates to control growth in plant growth regulator (PGR) sensitive crops, using low phosphorus rates to enhance anthocyanin production in the foliage of red and purple colored plants, and looking at a newly reported symptom of phosphorus deficiency that occurs in the upper leaves of some flowering crops.
