Soil and Plant Nutrition
- Measuring and Adjusting Garden Soil pH for VegetablesYou will take accurate core samples and interpret laboratory slurry tests without guesswork. Select between calcitic limestone and elemental sulfur to bring your garden beds into the optimal range for nutrient uptake.
- Diagnosing Nitrogen Versus Iron Chlorosis in Leafy GreensYou will distinguish between mobile and immobile nutrient deficiencies by observing where yellowing first appears on the plant. Apply targeted foliar sprays or root drenches to restore dark green foliage.
- Cover Cropping with Winter Rye to Rebuild Compacted ClayYou will use extensive cereal rye root systems to fracture dense subsoil layers without running a heavy tiller. Terminate the cover crop at the right bloom stage to deposit stable carbon into your beds.
