The effect of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) or cellulose polymer (CP) as substrate components on the growth and quality of container and bedding plants
The objective of this study was to conduct suitability studies for using PET and CP as components of soilless mixes used in floriculture. This was achieved by evaluating the quality of several crops grown in substrates containing different substrates prepared with different proportions of PET and CP.
