Because of the relatively large interest and a response to my last - all within a relatively short time - am presuming to offer the following papers that have just been been (I think) put up (or updated) upon our webcyte:
This one has to do with the application of additional sugars (molasses) to plants:

This one has to do with figuring out how much fertilizer to spread after you have gotten a recommendation from whatever lab (and also how to read a bag of fertilizer):

And this one has to do with growing things that bear fruit:
http://www.texasplantandsoillab.com/PDFs/nitrogen-carbon-ratio-fruiting-plants.pdf (http://www.texasplantandsoillab.com/PDFs/nitrogen-carbon-ratio-fruiting-plants.pdf)
Hopefully, you will find them all to be informative.
Enjoy - maybe....
