Thank you Andre for your comments. I have been working on increasing Ca with gypsum, which I hope will improve the S as well. A soil test shows that Ca is high in comparison to Mg. (Ca:Mg = 76%:10%). My main concern is the Mn, as this can regulate K which in turn can regulate Ca, but I am not sure in which form I can best introduce Mn (Mn EDTA…

Is fungi from compost extract consuming the seed?
I have seen a field of wheat sown two weeks ago. The kernels where treated with a fungal rich compost extract. Now, it looks like the plot with not-treated kernels have a better emergence than the treatet plots.
