Stanley, J. 2012. Using leaching fraction to maximize irrigation efficiency. IPPS-SR.

Jane Stanley, of Saunders Brothers, Inc., measures leaching fractions in containers by weight using a scale, then uses that information to adjust irrigation run time. With little technological input ( a scale), Stanley, demonstrates the practical application and success of scheduling irrigation in a nursery. Excellent reference presented at the International Plant Propagators Society, Southern Region meeting.. Can be found here: http://ipps-srna.org/pdf/2012Papers/3C-Stanley-Jane.pdf.
