Because primary and secondary nutrients are required by the plant in larger amounts, they’re often a limiting factor in crop production. However, the combination of higher intensity soil sampling with data anlysis and mapping programs allow us to have a much deeper understanding of how and when to rectify fertility issues. This reduces the chances…

Understand pH in Order to Understand Nutrient Availability
No other soil characteristic is more important in determining the chemical environment of plants and soil microbes than pH. The degree of soil acidity, expressed as soil pH, greatly influences the root uptake availability of many critical nutrients. Effects of Soil pH Strongly acidic soil presents a host of problems. These include toxicities of…
