1. Silicon Deficiency Silicon: Common and Familiar uses: Silicon chips are the basis of modern electronics and computing Silicon is alloyed with aluminum for use in engines because the presence of silicon improves metal's castability Silicon carbide is... (posted by Robert 1 year 162 days ago.)

2. Potassium Deficiency Potassium: (K ) - Mobile Molecular form: (K+) Background: Potassium, often called potash, is a key nutrient. Plants consume more potassium than any other nutrient except nitrogen, and some plants such as Kentucky bluegrass, may use more.... (posted by Robert 1 year 162 days ago.)

3. Plant Nutrients Seventeen chemical elements are known to be important to a plant's growth and survival. The seventeen chemical elements are divided into three main categories: macronutrients or primary nutrients, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients or trace...

4. Nickel Deficiency Nickel (Ni) Background: All of the nickel presently in the Earth was created in a super nova explosion. Nickel was discovered by the Swedish chemist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt in 1751. Nickel is the most recently identified essential element, and... (posted by Robert 1 year 164 days ago.)

5. Boron Deficiency Boron Boron is a micronutrient that is required for plant growth. It exists in the soil primarily as boric acid, H3BO3. Elemental boron has an ionic charge of +3 but acts as anionic trace element when it sheds its hydrogen atoms to give it a... (posted by Robert 1 year 164 days ago.)

7. Iron Fe 2 Micronutrient : Iron Molecular Form : Fe Ionic Charge : Fe+ 2 (Fe (II), Fe+ 3 (Fe III). Iron is considered a transition metal, and therefor has more than one positive charge. Iron can have a charge of either +2 or a +3 charge. The way it is... (posted by Robert 1 year 166 days ago.)

8. Phosphorus Molecular Form: Soil phosphorus originates from the weathering of minerals such as apatite, calcium phosphate minerals. As apatite weathers, it releases anions that can be used by plants: Primary Orthophosphate (H2Po4) Secondary... (posted by Robert 1 year 167 days ago.)

9. "How to calibrate pH Meter" To make sure of there correct reading it's best to calibrate' regularly to test for complete accuracy you don't want to overdose your plants with nutrients lock up, or burned. It is best to use distilled water to use when calibrating nutrient... (posted by Robert 2 years 127 days ago.)
