Plants were grown with a complete, modified Hoagland’s solution (macronutrients in mM, micronutrients in µM): 15.0 NO3-N, 1.0 PO4-P, 6.0 K, 5.0 Ca, 2.0 Mg, 2.0 SO4-S, 72.0 Fe, 18.0 Mn, 3.0 Cu, 3.0 Zn, 45.0 B, and 0.1 Mo. The control plants were grown using a nutrient formula containing all essential nutrients. Each nutrient deficiency treatment was induced by using the complete formula minus only one essential nutrient. Reagent grade chemicals and deionized water of 18-mega ohms purity were used to formulate treatment solutions. Toxicity of boron was also induced by increasing the element 10X higher than the complete formula. Plants were automatically irrigated every 2 hours, drained from the pot bottom and solution captured for reuse. The nutrient solutions were replaced weekly. Researchers monitored plants daily to document and catalog sequential onset of symptoms. Symptoms of N, P, Ca, Fe deficiency and B toxicity were the first disorders to exhibit in Solenostemon scutellarioides ‘Limelight’. The chartreuse coloration of this cultivar compounded difficulties in assessing symptomology of some nutrient disorders, particularly those that manifested with yellowing discoloration or chlorosis.}, booktitle={International symposium on growing media and soilless cultivation}, author={Jin, Y. and Fair, B.

The survey gathered information on landscape type, water use, and the effectiveness of watering restrictions. Actual water‐use data for a two‐year period was anonymously matched with participating households. The survey achieved a 49% response rate. Most respondents indicated that more than 75% of their landscape consisted of lawn, with 60% using warm‐season turfgrass species. Those whose lawns were planted with cool‐season grass used more water than those whose lawns were planted with warm‐season species. A total of 42% of respondents restricted their landscape water use to new plantings or stressed plants. More than 88% of respondents watered by hand. In most communities, no watering restrictions were in place during this survey. Water purveyors can use the results of this survey to better understand their customers' outdoor water use and thus develop effective education programs on water conservation techniques related to landscape irrigation.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION}, author={Fair, Barbara A. and Safley, Charles D.}, year={2013}, month={Oct}, pages={67–68} } @article{fair_whipker_mccall_buhler_2012, title={Height control of 'Hot Lips' Hybrid sage to flurprimidol substrate drench}, volume={22}, number={4}, journal={HortTechnology}, author={Fair, B.
