Reply to Sap pH and Insect/Fungal Susceptibility
Hi Claudia, I would like some clarification on this as well. It’s my understanding that EC is also a factor that might give more clues to what is happening. Low brix, low EC, high or low pH = ions missing. Low brix, high EC, high or low pH = ions not being complexed. I’m assuming this could be either cations or anions but may be wrong. Looking…

We work predominantly in broadacre and pasture agronomy in Australia and are encouraging more and more of our clients to test sap pH and brix to help make decisions re nutritional inputs and timing. I wanted to get some thoughts and an explanation about sap pH and insect/fungal susceptibility though. I may have interpreted…

Study: Less is more when it comes to chemical fertilizerThe findings of a new, long-term academic study may lay some farmers’ fears to rest: farming regeneratively, or farming in ways that benefits soil, water and air quality, doesn’t have to come at the expense of crop yield.
