Gel Sowing is a method of starting seeds indoors, where seedling emergence is 2-3 weeks earlier than with dry-sown seeds and higher yields have been shown for slow-germinating crops like early carrots, parsnips, tomatoes and onions. It also makes for a safer way to plant out the seedlings, without damaging the roots. Awesome for areas with […]
aluminum is considered a trace element in soil fertility and plant nutrition because it is found in relatively low concentrations in plant tissue, and is not one of the 13 essential elements required for plant growth it is a major soil constituent, and if it’s concentration is too high in the soil, it can be […]
chlorine is one of the 13 essential elements for plant growth, and is considered a micronutrient based on the concentration required for plant growth principle form of uptake: ionic form, chloride (Cl–) amount required for healthy plant growth: 100 ppm, dry soil matter chloride ions primarily move through the soil via diffusion soil factors that affect chloride uptake by […]
molybdenum is one of the 13 essential elements for plant growth, and is considered a micronutrient based on the concentration required for plant growth principle form of uptake: molybdate anion (MoO42-) amount required for healthy plant growth: 0.1 ppm, dry soil matter amount of molybdenum required is greatly reduced if the form of nitrogen supplied to the plant is […]
Manganese is one of the 13 essential elements for plant growth, and is considered a micronutrient based on the concentration required for plant growth principle form of uptake: ionic form (Mn2+) amount required for healthy plant growth: 50 ppm, dry soil matter manganese ions primarily move through the soil via diffusion soil conditions related to deficiencies in manganese: calcareous […]
Zinc is one of the 13 essential elements for plant growth, and is considered a micronutrient based on the concentration required for plant growth principle form of uptake: ionic form (Zn2+) amount required for healthy plant growth: 20 ppm, dry soil matter zinc ions primarily move through the soil via diffusion excessive zinc in soil can lead to […]
