Plant Nutrient Uptake Mechanisms

Plant Nutrient Uptake MechanismsCrop production specialists do very good job of evaluating soil test results, identifying plant stress factors, and providing appropriate recommendations from an above ground plant growth standpoint. Oftentimes individuals working with crop production tend to overlook the importance of plant roots and the influence they have on the plant, maximizing its growth, and productivity potential.…

Utilizing Tiger 90CR Sulphur on Low pH Soils

Utilizing Tiger 90CR Sulphur on Low pH SoilsAn optimized yield response requires an efficient crop production system as well as an adequate supply of water and all essential nutrients readily available to the plant. Optimizing yield response begins by taking an inventory of current soil nutrients, water holding capacity and the nutrient holding capacity of soils in a field.…

Challenges of Soil Testing for Sulphur

Challenges of Soil Testing for SulphurAgronomists have stated that soil sampling and analysis provides one of the highest returns on investments for agricultural operations. Soil testing is not a new agronomic practice. One of the first true soil testing laboratories was established in the late 1930s. It was not until the 1950s that most of the procedures for soil…

Sulphur Influence on Crop Quality

Sulphur Influence on Crop QualitySulphur is a component of two amino acids that are critical in protein synthesis within the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom. Its pathway into the atmosphere and soil environment is from combustion of fossil fuels, organic matter decomposition, and sulphur (S) containing fertilizers. Download Now!Version: 2017-06

Differences in Plant Nutrient Uptake and Plant Nutrient Removal

Differences in Plant Nutrient Uptake and Plant Nutrient RemovalMany factors influence plant growth including sufficient nutrition. The volume of plant nutrients applied as fertilizer varies with concentration of available nutrients in soil, crop requirements, yield potential, growing season, and management intensity. These interacting factors compound the decision making process to assess the correct amount of plant nutrients to add…
