Generally, increasing solution concentrations of N, K, or Mg resulted in increased plant growth as measured by total linear shoot growth and total plant dry mass. High solution concentrations of K (700 mg/L) depressed growth in comparison to lower (117-235 mg/L) K concentrations. High N (600 mg/L) or high Mg (150 mg/L) solution concentrations did not produce a similar growth depression. Foliar concentrations of N, K, and Mg were significantly and positively correlated with solution concentrations of the respective element. Plants expressing symptoms of N deficiency had foliar N concentrations greater than critical foliar N concentrations established for other grapes. Similarly, foliar K concentrations in K deficient vines were greater than foliar K concentrations reported elsewhere for healthy V. labrusca and V. vinifera vines. Foliar Mg concentrations of plants showing Mg deficiencies were similar to values reported for other grapes. Critical N and K concentrations of Seyval, below which N and K deficiencies may occur, may, therefore, be higher than critical values established for some grape species. %U https://www.ajevonline.org/content/ajev/34/4/271.full.pdf
