Efficient & Effective Foliar Nutrition

The application of nutrients, or fertilisers, that plants require is an important component in primary production operations. For numerous reasons, crops or pastures, may not naturally get all the nutrients they need from the soil in order to perform well. The considered application of fertiliser is often necessary to meet the desired outcomes of enterprise programs.
The price of fertilisers continues to rise as global supplies are used up, this coincides with a general decline in soil health in agriculture and a greater reliance on and requirement of fertiliser to maintain production.. More than ever, there is both an economic and environmental imperative to make nutrient applications as efficient and effective as possible.
Presented by Mark Tupman from Productive Ecology, this webinar explores how the application of nutrients to the foliage of plants can be an effective way to improve crop/pasture nutritional status, and as a consequence reduce the volume and costs of some inputs whilst at the same time contribute to improved soil health.

Great explanation

[@larrysiders1]

Tillage on a grand scale began ~150 years ago. That: 1.) Liberated more CO2 from 1850 to 1950 than all the CO2 from Fossil Fuels. It also reduced the RAINWATER HOLDING CAPACITY from ~6" per hour to only 1/2" per hour. That makes croplands up to 8° warmer on hot days.... that's more warming (on a Continental Scale) than CO2 is capable of by itself (which is ~0.7° C). Soil Regeneration....FIXES BOTH the Rainwater Capture (and holding) problem AND the CO2 problem. It also preserves and BUILDS Topsoil.

Thanks so much for this information. Would it be possible to get a pdf of the recipes spoken about . Maybe you could put it in the description or can I email someone for them . Much appreciated 😊

Very helpful thanks. Does anybody know if I can mix Calcium Nitrate and Citric Acid?

[@lowerblackwoodlcdc]

Hi there, we usually use fulvic acid with calcium nitrate but our understanding is that you can. Very easy to do a jar test with this one to be absolutely sure.
