Growth, Development, and Mineral Nutrient Accumulation and Distribution in Tulip from Planting through Postanthesis Shoot Senescence

Figure 2

Profile showing the allocation of dry matter (a), N (b), P (c), K (d), Ca (e), and Mg (f) to organs of T. gesneriana “Paul Richter” during the growing season. Organs appear within each graph in the same order (top to bottom) as listed in the key. Data are plotted additively with vertical distances between lines indicating the quantity of a particular nutrient in each organ. The arrows indicate the dates of shoot emergence (Em), minimum plant (MP) dry matter, peak shoot (PS) dry matter, and bulb maturity (Ma).
