| Abstract/Contents: | "One-gallon container sized Hibiscus X rosa-sinensis planted in June 1982 were either treated with a surface application or subsurface injection application of fertilizer, beginning in the Spring of 1983. Treatments were applied to 8 ft. bare-ground, mulch and turf plots, each containing one hibiscus plant. By the winter of 1983, after four fertilizer applications, hibiscus stem diameter, leaf color, plant quality and shoot growth in the bare ground was similar to growth in the mulched plots. Hibiscus growth and plant quality ratings in both treatments were better than in the sodded plots. There were no significant growth, color or quality differences between plants receiving injected or surface-applied fertilizer. Maintaining the area around hibiscus in mulch or bare ground, even without fertilizer, promoted better hibiscus growth than keeping the turf and fertilizing. Hibiscus did not respond to fertilizer applied during the first 16 months following planting." |
