BIO BASED PLANT NUTRIENTS | SUSTAINABLE
AGRICULTURE
There are seventeen
nutrients that, when applied to soil, play a major role in
determining plant health and crop yield.
In order for
plants to absorb these nutrients, the nutrients must be dissolved.
When nutrients are dissolved, they are in a form called "ions" and
are electrically charged...

Corn
Gluten Meal contains 60% protein and 10%
nitrogen, by weight and poses no health risk to
animals, actively growing plants and humans. The use
of corn gluten meal as an natural herbicide...

Plant Pathogens - The study of plant
diseases is known as plant pathology. Infectious
diseases are caused by living organisms called
pathogens. Noninfectious diseases caused by
environmental stress and damage by weather and
other environmental factors also will be
covered...

Foliar
feeding is an effective method for correcting soil deficiencies and
overcoming the soil’s inability to transfer nutrients to the plant.
Tests have shown that foliar
feeding can be 8 to 10
times more effective than soil feeding and...

Over
a 14 year period in Canada, cultivated brown prairie soils lost 26% of
their soil organic matter and 33% of their N (Campbell et al, 1975 in
Blaine 1993)...

Plants obtain nutrients for their biosynthetic processes in the form
of carbon dioxide, water, nitrate, phosphate, and ionic forms of
potassium, calcium, and other essential elements. Nitrogen generally
enters the roots as nitrate and becomes assimilated by the plant’s
bio-chemistry into...

Tillage and Seed Bed Preparation - Stand establishment is a critical
crop yield factor for all crops, especially in saline soils. Salts
affect germination and emergence in a manner similar to seedbed
drying. Stand loss from poor emergence is directly proportional to...
