There are different classes of certified seed including breeder, foundation, registered, and certified seed. Maintaining genetic purity of stock seed is important and involves minimizing contamination and strictly rogueing off-types before pollination. Producing stock seed infrequently helps maintain genetic purity over time by reducing genetic drift. Proper storage methods like cool, dry conditions also preserve genetic integrity.

Difficulties?
Successes?
Trouble Shooting
6. Reducing Limiting Factors
• Critical Components – Early Childhood
Development – Seed soak, Seed
inoculant, potting soil mineral and
biological activity, temperature of soil
and air, water access, spacing, root/top
balance. Intention.
7. Cover crop - Crop process
• Address mineral deficiencies based on
soil test results and recommendations.
• Always apply minerals with a carbon
source like humates/compost/biochar.
• Apply fertilizer
• Till under cover crop
• Prepare bed
8. Continued
• Make row or hole
• Test conductivity
• Apply plant/transplant drench (fungal
and bacterial inoculant, enzymes, sea
minerals, micronized
calcium/phosphorus/traces
• Plant/Transplant
9. Limiting factors
• As with bio-inoculants, soil mineral
balancing, planting/transplanting
drench, regular drench and foliar are
designed to address/prevent limitations
as they are experienced in the plant.
• Less than ideal mineral and biological
levels will show up as deficiencies in
crops.
10. Assessing plant status
• Start with overview of patch. General
glance across field.
• Questioning attitude. Ask. Listen.
Throughout the day, when working in
the crop. What comes to you?
• Sentience, Intuition, Spirit, Devas,
Kinesthetic, Gut feeling.
11. Questions
•
•
•
•
•
•
Are new growth tips standing erect?
Do honeybees work the flowers vigorously?
Is the plant growing rapidly?
Are stems solid or hollow?
What weed families are dominant?
How many flowers are setting per bunch
12. Questions
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
How thick are the stems?
How thick are the calix’s
How thick are the leaves?
What color are the leaves?
What color is the sap?
What is the spacing between nodes?
How many petals are on each flower?
13. General Parameters
• Stem size - Bigger is better
• Stem Strength - Should be able to bend
between the fingers. See how much a
stem will bend before breaking. Greater
flexibility is a sign of improved quality.
• Stem hairs - More and longer is better.
14. General Parameters
• Solid stems in grains and brassicas
especially. Hollow connotes functional
Ca deficiency.
• Stem shape - round is preferred.
Oblong connotes Ca deficiency.
15. General Parameters
• Internode Points - Shorter internodes
build stockier plants which can build
higher yields. In tomatoes and vine
crops 4-6 inches between nodes should
be the max. Try for shorter.
16. General Parameters
• Leaf Thickness - Thicker is better. Facilitates
greater photosynthesis and nutrient transport.
Fe, Mg and K associated with this.
• Leaf shape. Shorter wider leaves correlate
with higher production potential and stockier
plants. Ex tomato plant. 1X5.5 inches or
2.5X4 inches
17. General Parameters
• Leaf Density - plants highly loaded with
leaves have higher productive capacity.
• Leaf sap color - darker color more
chlorophyll. Mg and B+K associated
with this. More photosynthetic potential.
N will make plant look greener, but not
sap darker.
18. General Parameters
• Number of flowers per cluster - greater
number of flowers greater number of
fruit. Mn often limiting factor in flower
number and fruit set. 4-6 flowers to 1215.
• Size and strength of flowers critical.
Size of calix.
19. General Parameters
• Check pH and Brix of crops and weeds
next to them. As the soil becomes
strengthened, the brix rises and
balances in the crops, and drops and
imbalances in the weeds.
• What weed families are present? Not
individual weeds, but general trends.
20. Biochemical process of plant
nutrition
• Boron activates Silicon which carries all
other nutrients starting with Calcium
which binds Nitrogen to form amino
acids, DNA and cell division. Amino
acids form proteins and tag trace
minerals especially Magnesium to form
chlorophyll which transfers energy via
Phosphorus to Carbon to form sugars
which go where Potassium carries them
21. Calcium
• Often Ca shortages show up in tandem with
other shortages. Most common, B and Si.
• Stem and leaf strength and ability to flex and
bend back are correlated to Ca.
• Strong cell walls which correlate to fungal
resistance.
• Roundness of stems sign of good Ca
presence.
22. Calcium
• Deficiencies • Dark green vein in mid rib of leaf,
yellowish in between
• Leaves have wrinkled appearance, may
defoliate
• Poorly developed root hairs
• Young leaves die back at tips
23. Calcium
• Adequate Ca correlates to same leaf size
across the plant. Consistency.
• Adequate Ca will help plant vibrate at a
higher frequency increasing the plants ability
to pull nutrients to it.
• Leaves will curl upward in Ca shortage in
cucurbits and will also become brittle. This
will correlate with B also.
24. Silicon
• Vine crops will become resistant to powdery
mildew with sufficient Si. Synergist with Ca.
Sufficient Si will make very strong cell walls.
• Grasses and cucurbits especially need Si. Si
supplementation will cause leaf hairs to
increase in size and vibrancy. Micro
transmitters.
25. Boron
• Boron facilitates Carbohydrate transport down
to roots and nutrients up to leaves.
Insufficient B will correlate with stagnant brix
readings in crops, not fluctuating the day.
• Adequate levels of Ca in the soil and bottom
of the plant but not in the top of the plant will
correlate with B deficiency.
26. Boron
• B pushes nutrients upward and outward in the
plant. Catalytic effect in moving nutrients.
• Close attention to inside and outside brix and
pH in a leaf. If inside of leaf is in better shape
than outside probably a B deficiency.
• Death of terminal bud/deformed flowers deficiency
30. Potassium
• Potassium is a transport element, and
catalyst in plant sizing. K deficiency will show
up in leaf, fruit, and stem if size is not there.
Lack of K is obvious in size and shape of fruit.
• Delicious apple shape shows insufficent K.
Should not be oblong, should be as round on
flower end as stem end.
31. Potassium
• K shortage will be obvious in thin stems,
calix’s and leaves. Small fruit.
• K shortage in vine crops will show as a light
or yellow band on the outside rim of the leaf.
• Yellow spots on lower leaves/dull blue green
• In tomatoes, bottom leaves curling up that
turns into early blight is a sign of K deficiency.
32. Magnesium
• Mg produces chlorophyll and has
enzyme cofactors that turn plant sap a
deep true green. High levels of Mg will
cause a very dark sap which shows a
very healthy plant.
• Discoloration in color on veins light and
dark to white perhaps lower leaves first
then across plant is Mg deficiency.
40. Phases of nutritional need
• First phase - up to first blossoming microbial needs. Plant needs highly
functioning soil bacterial system to best
establish itself. Soil life needs water and
sugar for starters. Dry soil or low brix
plants will short circuit this process.
41. Subsequently
• Blossoming and setting fruit - nutrient
demands begin to increase as plant goes
through hormonal and reproductive shifts
• Fruit fill - nutritional demands increase even
more - B, Ca, Mn, S, P, Mg, Co all needed
42. Root/Top Balance
•
•
•
•
Stocky plants objective
Cytokinin - root
Auxin - Top
Hold each other in check. Brains in
roots, roots should always be bigger
than top. If top growth starts to get
leggy, root growth has fallen behind.
43. How to Discern Imbalance?
• Conductivity - soil energy levels need to be
sufficient for crops to have access to the
nutrition needed for optimal growth.
• Conductivity - corresponds to electrical
energy flow in soil. Looking for minimum of
200 in spring. 600-800 at fruit fill.
• Biological activity releases minerals into soil
solution which increases conductive reading.
• Dropping conductivity reading corresponds to
insufficient nutrition for crops.
44. Addressing deficient
conductivity
• Planting/transplanting solution - Should supply
sufficient nutrition for crop to have generous
availability of nutrition needed to establish large
strong root systems which are predictive factors in
yield potential. Calcium and Phosphorus critical at
this time.
• Often cold soils, or denuded will not be sufficient in
energy and nutrition to establish this first key phase
in field to optimal levels.
• Conductivity monitoring will proactively show
general nutrient availability to crops. If this begins
to drop a drench should be applied.
45. Discerning deficiency Brix
• Ideally, brix readings in plant leaf sap should not
drop below 12. Early morning testing is best to
show minimum levels. If 12 is not attained in mid
afternoon of a sunny day, the plant is definitely
stressed.
• Regular weekly monitoring is ideal for discerning
movement in brix levels.
• Same point in plant is necessary for significant
readings. I.e. fourth newest leaf.
• Same time in day as well.
• Brix below 12 shows the need for other monitoring
activities if the desire is to address the problem.
46. Plant sap pH
• Ideally, brix readings in plant leaf sap should not
drop below 12. Early morning testing is best to show
minimum levels. If 12 is not attained in mid afternoon
of a sunny day, the plant is definitely stressed.
• Regular weekly monitoring is ideal for discerning
movement in brix levels.
• Same point in plant is necessary for significant
readings. I.e. fourth newest leaf.
• Same time in day as well.
• Brix below 12 shows the need for other monitoring
activities if the desire is to address the problem.
47. pH Imbalance
Troubleshooting
• Low pH most common
• Potassium and Calcium deficiency most
common
• Calcium is fixed in the plant, and
Potassium mobile
• Calcium will be deficient in top of plant,
and Potassium in the bottom.
48. pH Troubleshooting Continued
• Potassium increases brix where it is
present.
• Higher brix at top of plant than bottom
with low pH will be probable Potassium
deficiency.
• Greater pH deficit at top of plant than
bottom with low brix will be probable
Calcium deficiency.
49. pH Troubleshooting Continued
• High plant sap pH is most often a shortage of
Phosphates.
• For all deficiencies, solution predicted, apply
test foliar spray consisting of predicted
deficient nutrient and test plant brix after 2
hours.
• If you have addressed the deficiency, the brix
should be up at least 1-2 points in the test
plants.
• pH as well should begin to moderate.
50. In general
• Once a plant shows deficiency
symptoms, you have limited the genetic
potential of that crop in that year.
Epigenetics.
• Why guess when you can test. In high
value crops it is very affordable to make
changes and test regularly.
51. Plant Framing and Fruiting
• A plant will generally start seriously
building its frame 4-6 weeks after it has
been transplanted.
• Saturated paste test 3-4 weeks after
transplant = 1-2 weeks before framing
and fruiting = time to adjust for
deficiencies. Proactive monitoring.
52. Framing and Yield Potential
• 3-4 weeks after bulking point it
becomes difficult to significantly impact
yield potential.
• Getting past bulking point with healthy
form, healthy root system, and sufficient
mineral availability Significantly
Increases Potential For Yield.
53. Lab test

available for your plants in real time.
54. Saturated Paste Test
•
•
•
•
•
Soluble Salt - 300-750 ppm
Chlorides - 25-50
Bicarbonate - 50-100
Phosphorus - .5 ppm
Calcium as % should be greater than
Mg and K. As a % the Ca:Mg ratio 3:1
or a ppm ratio of 5:1. Ideal range 30-50
ppm, 60%
56. Simple Solutions
• For those who do not want to bother
with plant sap monitoring, soil
conductivity testing, recipe building and
effectiveness testing,
• Simple comprehensive
planting/transplanting drench
• Regular weekly/biweekly drench
• Regular weekly/biweekly foliar
59. Deviations from the mean by
crop
•
•
•
•
•
Tomatoes - at fruit sizing more K
Greens - generally heavier doses
Berries - more P in foliar
Tree Fruit - more P in foliar
Cucurbits - more P throughout - 1-2
qt/acre silicon in regular foliar

the system.
• When we can envision the vibrational
underpinnings of our experience the modes
of effect are more understandable.
64. Quantum Mechanics

conceive of it can we begin to understand
from a logical framework
