I understand and appreciate that explanation. Makes more sense. So then makes me ask, how do you determine what would be classified as a "red flag" on a sample? A number that is way off the hay bale or just on the outer edge? How do you determine what to add to an application or leave something out because you think you don't need it?
Also, is there any nutrients you pay attention to more than others? I know some or many work with each other but is there some specific ones you mostly pay attention to in a tissue sample?
The tissue test I get back has 3 big ranges. One for low, good and high.
If something is low, I add it,but, just because I fix a deficiency it doesn't mean yield. Especially for my area, but, it's a " I did the best I could have done" so far I have never not gotten my money back other than extreme drought weather year.
As far as anything specific. I could give my whole recipe for the in Furrow program and my foliar feeds. But they would really mean nothing to pretty much everybody else. I'm the only one with my soil, at my pH, with my tillage practice, my biology level...
We know plants through reproductive stages really need potassium. I will never lose money on foliar potassium. V6-tassle is 14-20 days and half of the K uptake, no way on earth our glacial chaos soil can meet that need. |
