Growth Medium Temperature in Containers as Influenced by Moisture Content
Growth Medium Temperature in Containers as Influenced by Moisture Content

Page Range: 21 – 22
In response to changes in ambient air temperature, temperatures within containers of a pine bark growth medium were slower to change and remained at 0°C (32°F) longer, as the moisture content of the medium increased. This suggests that timing of irrigation can reduce temperature extremes of short duration within containers.
