I always learn something new and helpful from these podcasts (getting this on UA-cam). For example, to quote from one slide during this presentation, “ Lack of nutritional integrity at the transition FROM vegetative TO reproductive triggers proteolysis and creates disease/insect susceptibility.” This example of reallocation of nutrients can also be tied to honeybee health. If a nurse honeybee has a lack of protein in her diet, her own body will provide the protein to feed the larvae. This is non-sustainable and makes her susceptible to disease. Wouldn’t be surprised to find a similar application in human health.
I've seen a wild appletree absolutely covered in dark furry caterpillars I mean not a leaf or branch visible.they ate it bare but the year later I've never ever seen so many fully ripe apples on one tree ever in my whole life.

How do we ensure that our plant is utilizing calcium as its main component for vegetative growth? I understand how to apply the calcium, is there another step. Obviously I would not apply additional nitrogen.
I am designing a climate battery greenhouse. I want soil temperature above 70 degrees 12 months a year. I would feed nutrients to earthworms to produce amino acid chelated N, Ca, Mn, P, K, Mg, B, Zn and the rest of the nutrients plants will need. The plan is to have soil biology and nutrients needed for every crop before the first seeds are planted. Would the availability of all that N, Ca, Mg, Mn, P, K and every other mineral mean the plant would have too much available at critical points? Would I get maximum fruit fill for tomatoes? Or would I be better off with foliar sprays and not so much amino acid chelated minerals in the soil 12 months a year. I might have to have a separate Red Wiggler worm bin to produce certain key nutrients in sufficient quantity. But are there any drawbacks to having adequate nutrition 12 months a year?
Are there drawbacks to supplying adequate nutrition in the soil?? That elicits a chuckle. Indeed not. When all nutrients in the soil are in the form of microbial metabolites plants never luxury feed. They will absorb precisely what they require and no more. Don’t underestimate the quantity of nutrients and the intensity of microbial activity required to provide that level of nutrition.
what is the idea here? with the earthworms for producing amino chelated nutrition? what is the practice? you must need great compost to feed the worms. do not know the science in this. if you please, you can email me at paulruizbraga@gmail.com mygreathanks
What are your thoughts on Aragonite as the Soil calcium source? I spoke to a food forest enthusiast who swears by it to “sweeten up the soil”. It’s a more immediate source of calcium for the growing season if lime was not applied the fall before.. What about a slurry of crustacean insects? I know black soldier fly larvae are very high in calcium as a chicken food source.. How bioavailable would it be for the plant if you made a slurry of them and applied to the soil? Or you could put out sticky traps and catch all those hard shell pests and return them to soil as a slurry..
Those are interesting idea. Check out Korean Natural Farming Chris Trump and Drake on you tube. They have very easy technique for making a calcium extract with egg shells and vinegar. If your doing it on scale you can use a less expensive type of vinegar or make your own. I use apple cider vinegar
@@Soilfoodwebwarrior the knf calcium extraction is purely a chemical extraction. There is no need to use biologically active vinegar. A waste of money. Cheap vinegar is fine. Save your acv for the following formula stack
I know for strictly seed production, in cannabis throughout flowering stage higher levels of nitrogen are established and utilized. Many big time breeders and seed producers use this for heartier seed crop.
That makes no sense to me based on what Jon has been stating in these webinars. Nitrogen is not what the plant needs to reproduce, they should be utilizing calcium. Of course be adding accelerate shortly after transplant, during transition to flower and bud fill.
How do we ensure our plant is utilizing calcium for vegetative growth as opposed to nitrogen. I understand how to apply the calcium, but do I need to do anything else? Obviously I would not add additional nitrogen.
Wow look at the blossom on those trees. That's shouting out with colour look at me look at me I'm important I grow fruits. Those trees are just showing of .Who says humans are the only ones capable of being vain.
Thanks as always AEA! On the question at 42:56... Yes it works amazingly well on corn! Here is an example on my small farm: ua-cam.com/video/OPVe18QMIn0/v-deo.html

Thank you... from mexico.. very useful webinars ... you are my guru...

I f***** love these videos, thank you team and Ana!!
Thank you, Chris, glad you find the information useful! 😁
Wow I thought you said Ana|
What stade would bud initiation correspond to for wheat and canola ?
Hi John. Thanks for an eye opener material. When will be the next webinar and how can i be one of the listeners to ask you a question? Thanks.

@@AdvancingEcoAgriculture Thanks. On your site in the webinar section with this video is a date misprint June 26, 2017 instead of June 26, 2019.
@@StanOwden Thanks, fixed!

Nevermind you answered that is question segment
When you don't have irrigation, can water be limiting to the point that maximizing yield with foliar applications becomes useless ?

Is phosphorous and Calcium EDTA is compitabel
Great
Thanks you very much
`Thanks
It's raining a lot. My tomatoes are aborting their flowers. No fungicides. Loss maybe 5 percent of my plants but they're not holding the fruits
24:00 calcium secret unveiled... I do this now
I always hear that analogy, to switch from sweeter to more sour food sources during transition/pregnancy phase
