Three Phases Of Soil. Healthy Soils, Healthy People. Vineyard - Napa Valley. Te Raparahi Lands Trust. Pukeatua Peak Goat Farm. Request a Soil Audit. Calcium - the King of Nutrients. Do your cows suffer from Milk fever, mastitis or go down at calving? Does your stock get Barbers pole worm? Do you have to combat facial eczema? Are you using bloat oil? Do you have difficulty with calf rearing? Calcium is the most dominant cation in the soil. A common symptom of the calcium-nitrogen interaction is seen in le...

In the soil boron is an anion and therefore is found mainly the soil solution or complexed with humus. Without boron, the plant cannot transfer sugar from leaves to the roots. This process is also interrupted by various cultural practices, i.e. girdling. Boron deficient lucerne compared with a normal tiller.

Under our current system of soil fertility, we are being encouraged to under-fertilise. This state has existed for many years, but the degree of under fertilising is getting worse. Applying so called maintenance levels of nutrients is not even ensuring soil fertility is static; it is declining. What we try to achieve (according to a Perry Agricultural Lab te...

Many thanks for the extra data very interesting soils, so low in magnesium and the high molybdenum is a very big issue. The molybdenum if coming through in the plant tissues will antagonise copper severely, and cause a severe copper deficiency. Magnesium is also a calming mineral so animal behaviour may also be erratic. Symptoms are bl...

Three Phases Of Soil. Healthy Soils, Healthy People. Vineyard - Napa Valley. Te Raparahi Lands Trust. Pukeatua Peak Goat Farm. Request a Soil Audit. According to Perry Agricultural Soil Laboratories (PAL) results, we have yet to see a situation that warrants sodium being added to fertiliser. However, we have observed the negative effects of excess sodium, when applied to fodder beet. If sodium is in excess, correct the calcium first, then use sulphur to reduce sodium if it is still in excess.

How Iron and soil microbes influence plant growth. Adequate sulphur reduces the chances of iron deficiency. Plants are only organisms that can directly utilise the sun’s energy. They transfer 30% of their energy from the leaves to the rhizosphere and in doing so stimulate soil microbes. If this process is interrupted, (e.g&...Plant exu...

Three Phases Of Soil. Healthy Soils, Healthy People. Vineyard - Napa Valley. Te Raparahi Lands Trust. Pukeatua Peak Goat Farm. Request a Soil Audit. Manganese the element of life. Accelerates seed germination and early maturity of crops; important for nitrogen metabolism. Mn becomes more available at low pH - toxicity can be a problem. High iron or phosphorus can tie up manganese. When K and Na base saturation together exceed 10%, then manganese uptake is blocked.
