Drought Resilience: Managing Nutrition to Reduce Crop Water Requirements

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

I think you're hypothesis on loss of membrane integrity due to fungicides and pesticides is probably very spot-on. John! When we think about it from a human perspective, how much are skin protects us, if our skin is in bad shape, it is much easier to get infections, and once an infection gets in, we know it can become systemic very quickly.

Just started listening to this, been saving this since last week for work as it is some of the most entertaining podcasts I listen to even when compared against kill Tony and other high level comedy, this one really makes my day. I remember in 2013 when I first came across. Came across John Kemp and he was talking about that blue corn, that was one of the things that really inspired me to get into regenerative agriculture. John also inspired me to go from horrible eating habits to paying very close attention to nutrition for both my plants and soils and for myself. Dramatic life changes. Ensued and are still continuing to evolve today. I will probably be back to comment additionally on this. But again I thank you John and everyone. I advancing equal agriculture for everything you do!

Thank you for sharing your experience. Keep up the great work! ~ The AEA Team

[@ted70281]

I learn so much from you. Thanks!

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

You did cover high sodium water and drought stress very specifically in one of your webinars, I forget which one, but if the person goes back and searches through your channel, I'm sure they will find it. It was another excellent discussion

[@mauricecalliss1303]

I'm response to reply. Regarding sodium bicarbonate solution and excessive root production. I'm no expert but I've perceived that in numerous ocasions on applying the solution in a small area of the surface of an indoor environment in a potted plant resulted in excessive roots apearing in that area within 2/3 days up and into the surface. Many reasons why this could happen maybe it sterilized the soil and released nutrient and the roots took advantage of that???I would have thought that rizofagh cycle would have been stopped by this .???visually the plant showed a more turgid apearance and looked healthier for it. It's not a continual application and just an observation. It was observed on a hemp plant. Similar subject but I've applied a very small amount of a p k salt solution and noticed a terrible result in nearly the death of the plant it was applied to. Even in a tiny amount. Yet when I applied the p k salts to a fermented extract and allowed biology to play it's part I could then apply the same salts in any amount with no detrimental results. I'm guessing a buffering took place. Thanks

I can’t wait for part 3 great stuff John I share with anyone who cares to listen and some who don’t . Squeaky wheel gets oiled 🫶💪🦠🍄🦸🏻‍♂️☀️🌎

[@mauricecalliss1303]

Excellent webinar. Thank you.

[@AdvancingEcoAgriculture]

We're glad you enjoyed it!

[@levimanning1371]

Wow thanks John

[@projectmalus]

That was intense! Thanks.

[@adamrommeledwin8949]

thank you AEA

[@anthonycopacetic5016]

John, now we need nutrition management for saturation conditions. The kind of conditions where tomatoes stop holding onto flowers

[@markus_selloi]

18:30 "Plants don't have kidneys" must be my favourite out of context quote

[@scott3930]

If there are ingredients in fungicides that strip plant leaves of their waxy protective coating, I wonder if the crop oils, soaps, adjuvants, etc added to herbicide applications have the same response.

[@SetTheCurve]

Buy this, buy that. Every episode

[@dawidzielinski8138]

Hi John, In your Webinars you are talking a lot about Ballancing Nutrience and the right ratios between the specific nutrience. Ist it possible to share the right ppm in plant sap analisis for the specific nutrience. what are the certain ratios between the nutrience. and in what chemical forms are the nutrience best availeable , sulfides chlorides...?

[@racebiketuner]

Thanks.

[@armandobambino]

great!!! thanks

[@chrisshepherd8708]

I know that it would probably wouldn't be economical, but what about applying water absorbent crystals on the top inch of soil?

[@B01]

17:45 Where is it documented that fungi also participate in the rhizophagy cycle? Would love to read up on that part in particular? It has been documented that plants can get up to 50% or more of their N from the rhizo bacteria, but i havent heard of fungi being part of that process?

[@tinfoilhatscholar]

I don't believe it is documented, yet .. but I believe, and it seems to be on the tip of many tongues, is that the very type of roots that are performing rhyzophagy, i.e. the ones with hairs, are actually a symbiotic relationship between plant and fungi. This would be inline with Margulis' work on symbiosis, and certainly is possible. A while ago I was listening to Matt Powers interviewing James White, and that's when it occurred to me, and it really seemed to be what Matt was thinking too, but James didn't have the research results to speak of it.

[@mauricecalliss1303]

It maybe that the plant is using itself /roots etc as a constantly recharging battery to process nutrients by charging the soil .and roots are using exudates to do this and farming the biology to store charge.

[@swrtsolutionsinc.1092]

There is a new technology for keeping water in the root zone of sandy soils. Developed at Michigan State University and tested around the world, SWRT subsurface membrane technology can be a tool for farmers to grow more crop with less water.

[@mauricecalliss1303]

Co2 is used as a shielding gas in welding to prevent oxidation. Maybe there was a similar archetype active on that crop position under those circumstances.

[@dennistaylor3796]

I have heard of extra CO2. Added to greenhouses, but too much is deadly for people.

[@anthonycopacetic5016]

Any information on which minerals show up as lacking in high rainfall situations? I know boron and sulfur would leach

[@mauricecalliss1303]

ORGANIC and being sown into a cover crop. Bacterial nutrition and water being held in the root zone .

[@mauricecalliss1303]

Why does a sodium bicarbonate weak solution in an organic soil cause roots to go grow crazy into the area it's applied. Always fascinated me and it's always something I go back to researching as a pet project. Everything says it's bad for everything. ???fascinating

[@seuvagem1950]

Could you explain about the sodium bicarbonate?

[@mauricecalliss1303]

I made coments a while ago in relation to root growth from bicarbonate side /sodium bicarbonate solution ? Etc had an epiphany and I'm no chemist but it's possible the root growth rapid onset was due to hydrogen release /or related to co2 ? Regarding the hydrogen in made aware that aerobic bacterias use hydrogen density as a /energy source and then I recalled James whites rizofagy etc and came to a totally uneducated theory that the hydrogen may be the or one of the causes of the expansive root growth .now I don't know if hydrogen is related in this matter but If bacterias are relevant to root growth and hydrogen is used by aerobic bacterias then surely hydrogen must be worth a looking at. Co2 also may be relevant. Thanks for listening anyway. I had to share this with someone for some reason at 4:19 am uk time. Laters aligaters

[@mauricecalliss1303]

Carbon dioxide being heavier than air /if the field crop in question at begining of talk managed to catch runoff from downpour then that seem to point to a hollow spot that could pool heavier gasses co2 etc. ????? That's just a guess

[@amitrakshe5773]

Why new leaf has anthocyanin?

[@christopherburman3340]

Question. Small orchard. Electolyte imbalance. I have very high levels of K in soil. SAP analysis said K very high in trees. What can be done to alter impact of excess K on electrolyte imbalance (i.e., how can i alter ratio)? Live in South Africa so water is an issue.

[@stevenglisson7614]

Manganese can help regulate K absorption but like most things in life there isn’t a single silver bullet. Try and balance Iron,Zinc and manganese which might help you avoid other issues of nutrient antagonisms like K beating calcium in the absorption race.

[@christopherburman3340]

@@stevenglisson7614 thx. Will check sap analysis for that

More videos, more salad of words, more repeatation, repeat the repeatation. Why are you making these unnecessary videos if youre earning from soil? Answer: youre just a youtuber.

Why don't you quit watching then. Go take a remedial spelling class or something.
