I would like to see any reference to a reputable study that showed any
beneficial ( or cost-effective ) effects of vitamins ( usually B-Vitamins )
on plant growth in controlled growing environment. In my university years (
in the mid-80's ), there were good studies fron Cornell and Florida that
showed no cost benefits and even some inhibition of rooting on some plants.
As usual, I can't recall any specific names or dates ( I killed lots of
braincells right after I graduated ), maybe another horticulturist on the
list recalls?
