thanks, great videos! I've personally experienced a positive benefit in reducing pest pressure by addressing nutritional deficiencies (in combination with natural ipm like coconut oil + soap foliar spray) I've also heard of research that shows high levels of silica in plant tissue will wear down the mouthparts of plant-eating pests
I am in Florida. I appreciate your videos so much! I have an organic garden. Do you have a video that may help me introduce phosphorous into my garden. Soil tests show it's low. My ph is high. Plants confirm the tests with less bloom and fruit.
It depends on crop and current nutrient status. Over-applying nutrients can reduce the uptake of the other so they need to be supplied in the current quantity. In terms of application rates, I would use the recommended rates provided by the fertiliser producer, and use sap testing to determine which nutrients to apply. Alternatively, experiment using a mix of nutrients on a very small test plot (or single plant).
Thank you so much. As someone with a stronger chemistry background than biology, you explain things in a way that make sense to me
My professor sometimes gives us assignment to translate some of your videos into our language, because you explain everything so well. 👏😊
That’s a great compliment! Thank you!

I AM from India you are great sir
Cheers!
I would love to read the book. Can get a copy pls..
You can get a free copy of the book as a pdf here: www.gaiafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/HealthyCrops_CHABOUSSOU.pdf
What should be the ideal quantity of each nutrient for a foliar spray?
