npHE production of high yields of good quality peas -" has long been one of the major problems of the canning industry. Decrease in yield and quality of peas is, often caused by a nutrient unbalance in the soil. An abundance of calcium in soils and nutrient solution cultures has an adverse influence on the quality of peas, and since the calcium-magnesium ratio has a highly significant effect on the uptake of these elements, the influence of the available magnesium supply on the quality of peas was studied.
