SeaMelPure treated chrysanthemum (cutflower), cv. 'Purple Star', grown in a heated greenhouse with various combinations of water and or nutrient stress occasionally showed significant differences in comparison to untreated control grown in the same conditions: at some assessments/stress situations a significantly better leaf colour, a higher NDVI and a higher production was observed. Also, analysis of the harvested crop showed - depending on the stress situation - a significantly higher manganese, zinc and/or copper concentration and a significantly lower sulfur and molydenum concentration per kg dry matter.
