Calcium (Ca) deficiency is a plant disorder that can be caused by insufficient level of biologically available calcium in the growing medium, but is more frequently a product of low transpiration of the whole plant or more commonly the affected tissue. Plants are susceptible to such localized calcium deficiencies in low or non-transpiring ...
In plants, silicon has been shown in experiments to strengthen cell walls, improve plant strength, health, and productivity. [27] There have been studies showing evidence of silicon improving drought and frost resistance, decreasing lodging potential and boosting the plant's natural pest and disease fighting systems. [28]
Keep in mind that less is more when it comes to fertilizing; overfeeding plants causes harm much faster than underfeeding. So, if you’re in doubt about fertilizing, it may be best to avoid using ...
Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...
Diagnosis of the cause of a physiological disorder (or disease) can be difficult, but there are many web-based guides that may assist with this. Examples are: Abiotic plant disorders: Symptoms, signs and solutions; [1] Georgia Corn Diagnostic Guide; [2] Diagnosing Plant Problems (Kentucky); [3] and Diagnosing Plant Problems (Virginia). [4 ...
It’s hard to keep anything alive, so best to test the waters with an easy-to-care-for indoor plant and go from there.View Entire Post ›
While most house plants don’t need any special care in winter, you do need to give them the basics, as you would at any other time of year: The proper light, water and other maintenance, as needed.
Many plants accumulate calcium oxalate as it has been reported in more than 1000 different genera of plants. [7] The calcium oxalate accumulation is linked to the detoxification of calcium (Ca 2+) in the plant. [8] Upon decomposition, the calcium oxalate is oxidised by bacteria, fungi, or wildfire to produce the soil nutrient calcium carbonate. [9]
