Abstract Critical plant concentrations for a reduction in relative growth rate to 90% of that of fully nourished plants were estimated by a novel method for several mineral nutrients. Carrot plants were grown from seed for 28 days in a range of nutrient solutions omitting N, P, K, Ca, S, Mg, Fe, B, Mn, Zn, Cu and Mo as separate treatments. All treatments except -Mn, -Zn, -Cu and -Mo resulted in effects on plant growth and the development of deficiency symptoms. Estimates of critical concentrations were based on a simple simulation model incorporating the principle of nutrient dilution with increasing plant weight and on mineral analysis of the plants. Parameters governing the shape of the relationship between fractional relative growth rate and plant nutrient concentration were altered until the model predicted the observed final mean dry weight of deficient plants and time of divergence of this growth curve from that of fully nourished plants. Critical concentrations so obtained were higher than those previously reported for Ca, Fe, N and P in carrots and lower for K, Mg and S.
