The Role of Micronutrients in Crop Health and Disease Resistance

Micronutrients are critical components of plant development. In this webinar, AEA founder John Kempf provides an in-depth look at the most important seven micronutrients for disease resistance and high-yield production. For each one, John discusses their functions within the plant, as well as the disease and insect prevention benefits each can provide with the correct management. John also talks about micronutrient mobility within the plant and the different methods of chelation. Slides available at www.slideshare.net/AdvancingE....

I cannot get enough of your presentations. I look forward to listening/watching each one. Thank you for sharing the info you have gleaned from countless hours of research. I cannot wait to get the combine in the field to see the results of your products I’ve applied based on SAP analysis. Thank you!

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Another excellent webinar as ALWAYS! Thanks John!

[@davidyhan]

These webinars are the best

[@safffff1000]

I really like the question and answer parts the best, I seem to learn the most from real world applications.

[@amadeusprakruti7441]

Super grateful for all the helpful information.

[@ashwinpatel4537]

Thanks John for valuable information.

[@anthonycopacetic5016]

at 30:10 one finally gets to see John.

[@Horse237]

Loved the lecture and the Q & A. Thanks for posting. Does that book tell us anything about the new bacteria attacking Olive oil plants in Italy?

[@WFranklinW]

Thanks very much for this valuable information!!

Hi Frank, we're happy to hear that you enjoyed this video. Thank you for watching! - The AEA Team

At 15:00.. carotenoids ... I have been eating 2 raw beets a day for about 2-3 weeks now.. I noticed when I get sun exposure in the last week I darken a LOT more than usual as a result and was wondering if it was related to the beets and their dark color.. I had an "aha!!!" moment when you mentioned the light spectrum bandwidth concept. Obviously this is just anecdotal evidence.. but it's interesting.

Love your webinars!!...Had a couple of questions concerning copper. First question in almonds the sufficient rate range is 5-15 ppm in tissue analysis. One I feel these rate ranges are conservative I’ve also been told the more copper the better so I’m wondering what is a good target range and will too much create any antagonistic effects with any other nutrition? Second question is what is the latest I can apply copper to help with lodging in rice? our current crop is in the late boot to early heading stage

[@JohnKempfVisionBuilder]

Thank you James! We generally observe better resistance at higher levels. The only downside from applying a lot of copper is soil accumulation, which can limit microbial activity.

[@JohnKempfVisionBuilder]

Copper and other trace mineral metals can be applied as late as three weeks before harvest on small grains and still observe yield and quality response.

Besides getting to the 3rd level of plsnt health is there a mineral shortcut to combating cercospora in celery?

[@ruthcowden1386]

Great information! Thank you!

[@paarvkapoor7193]

Hi you produce some good content, I have one question. Does GM/high yielding varieties of a certain crop more prone to disease/pest infection as compared to open pollination varieties? Also does it has some relation to the fact that GM/high yielding varieties of a crop are more prone to some infection because they withdraw nutrition from the crop at a higher rate?

[@marketdaycanele3184]

useful ! Many Thanks

[@michelangelou7]

John is there an application that increases the microbes that produce b12

[@JohnKempfVisionBuilder]

I don’t know for certain, but I expect a soil application of Spectrum and Rejuvenate increases microbial release of cobalt as B12.

[@TensegrityEnergy]

Michael, you may have the answer by now, but certain strains of Lactic Acid Bacteria produce, amongst others, B12

[@monicacruz4407]

What strikes me about this presentation is that you’re talking about elements and their effects, but it is crucial to understand that it is the soil biology and the plant surface biology that makes these nutrients enter the plant tissues. I think you can get really nerdy about elements and particular effects, but the fact is, if you have poor soil biology and monoculture, you will have problems that will cost money and the earth. A lot of the questions seem like a hangover from industrial scale farming that has to change. I have learned that most soils have a good range of nutrients that are locked up and not plant available because of poor biology. Increase biology, unlock your soil. To the question about strawberries and botrytis, might it be useful to talk about intercropping, crop rotation, green manures that might help to clean up that particular problem? I realize you are studying particular effects so that you can affect things like ripening etc, super interesting, thank you 🙏

This guys is next level genius. He should be working at the cutting edge of physics

[@ashwinpatel4537]

John would appericate and be more thankful if you could host a webinar on potato crop including some points like mode and type of application of calcium alnong with micronutrient and factors affecting quality and size of potatoes.

Hi Ashwin. Let's connect

[@ashwinpatel4537]

Hi venu

[@brendafosmire6519]

Can you recommend a vegetable fertilizer for home vegetable gardeners?

[@hosoiarchives4858]

Homemade compost, and mulch, either grass, straw, or woodchips. Look up Ruth Stout (straw) and Paul Gautschi (woodchips). No till, tilling ruins your soil.

[@stevehughes594]

has anybody looked at mineral requirements of soil biota?

[@JohnKempfVisionBuilder]

Checkout the book Soil Microorganisms and Higher Plants, available online as a free download

[@hsharma3933]

Can you provide any advice for people who are growing small scale, like in a backyard? I’m looking to grow mostly berries.

[@AdvancingEcoAgriculture]

Hi H Sharma, thanks for this great question. You may find our Small Grower Resources to be of interest, taking special care to look at the Vegetable and Fruit Grower's Guide :) land.advancingecoag.com/small-grower-resources - The AEA Team

Biology equals carbon equals plant And root health etc. I think carbon in gas and or organic forms . Keystone elements like keystone species.
