2. Calcium deficiency (plant disorder) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_deficiency_(plant...

   Soil pH should be tested, and corrected if needed, because calcium deficiency is often associated with low pH. [14] [15] [citation needed] [16] Early fruit will generally have the worst symptoms, with them typically lessening as the season progresses. Preventative measures, such as irrigating prior to especially high temperatures and stable ...

3. Physiological plant disorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological_plant_disorder

   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 ...

4. Base-cation saturation ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base-cation_saturation_ratio

   Base-cation saturation ratio (BCSR) is a method of interpreting soil test results that is widely used in sustainable agriculture, supported by the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service (ATTRA) [1] and claimed to be successfully in use on over a million acres (4,000 km 2) of farmland worldwide.

5. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

   Other researchers have studied the synergistic and antagonistic effects of soil conditions on lead, zinc, cadmium and copper in radish plants to develop predictive indicators for uptake like soil pH. [48] Calcium absorption is increased by water-soluble phosphate fertilizers, and is used when potassium and potash fertilizers decrease the uptake ...

6. Bitter pit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_pit

   While it was shown that bitter pit was reduced as calcium levels rose, it was not possible to determine a minimum level of calcium that would ensure that the disorder was controlled. [13] The most effective treatment found for closed calyx fruit was to submerge the fruit in the calcium chloride solution and to apply a vacuum and immediately ...

7. Soil pH - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_pH

   Then, using the initial soil pH and the aluminium content, the amount of lime needed to raise the pH to a desired level can be calculated. [68] Amendments other than agricultural lime that can be used to increase the pH of soil include wood ash, industrial calcium oxide , magnesium oxide, basic slag (calcium silicate), and oyster shells.

8. Soil health - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_health

   The approach of other soil labs also entering the soil health field is to add into common chemical nutrient testing a biological set of factors not normally included in routine soil testing. The best example is adding biological soil respiration ("CO 2 -Burst") as a test procedure; this has already been adapted to modern commercial labs in the ...

9. Soil conditioner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_conditioner

   Soil conditioners may be applied in a number of ways. Some are worked into the soil with a tiller before planting. Others are applied after planting, or periodically during the growing season. Soil testing should be performed prior to applying a soil conditioner to learn more about the composition and structure of the soil. This testing will ...
