Variation in water retention characteristics of peat growth media used in tree nurseries.
The water retention characteristics and their variation in tree nurseries and related physical properties were determined for commercially produced growth media made of light slightly humified peat. A total of 100 samples of peat media were collected from filled seedling trays in the gre...
