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 […]
I’ve been reading a lot about garden ecology these last few months. Garden ecology focuses on the biology of each zone of the garden: deep soil zone, root zone, rhizosphere, leaf zone, outer environment. The healthier each of these zones are, the better your plant grows. What I’ve come to learn is that healthy soil […]
iron 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 forms (Fe2+, Fe3+) amount required for healthy plant growth: 100 ppm, dry soil matter soil conditions related to iron deficiencies: calcareous soils with low soluble iron waterlogged soil acid […]
Copper 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 (Cu2+) amount required for healthy plant growth: 6 ppm, dry soil matter soil conditions related to copper deficiency: peat & muck soil calcareous sands leached acid soil […]
Boron 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: boric acid (H3BO3) borate (BO33-) boric acid is preferred over borate as a condition of increased pH (increased alkalinity), boric acid converts to borate relatively immobile in the plant […]
One of the 13 essential elements for plant growth and is one of the 6 Major Elements, based on concentration required Sulfur is essential to good flavor in vegetables principle form of uptake: ionic form sulfate (SO42-) amount required for healthy plant growth: 1,000 ppm, 0.1%, dry soil matter application of about 20 lbs sulfur per acre is […]
principle form of uptake: ionic form (Mg2+) One of the 13 essential elements for plant growth and is one of the 6 Major Elements, based on concentration required amount required for healthy plant growth: 2,000 ppm, 0.2%, dry soil matter soil conditions related to deficiencies of magnesium: acidic sandy soils subjected to high rainfall or irrigation […]
