Other Papers.

[Frank]

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:
http://www.texasplantandsoillab.com/PDFs/sugars-related-to-plant-yeilds.pdf

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):
http://www.texasplantandsoillab.com/PDFs/calculation-fertilizer-application.pdf

And this one has to do with growing things that bear fruit:
http://www.texasplantandsoillab.com/PDFs/nitrogen-carbon-ratio-fruiting-plants.pdf

Hopefully, you will find them all to be informative.

Enjoy - maybe....
