Dr FG Adriaanse, for Kimleigh Chemicals SA (Pty) Ltd Along with specific pre-season soil analyses, foliar analyses should be used for diagnosing and treating nutrient deficiencies during seasons. Reasons for performing foliar analyses include leaching of nitrogen (N), boron (B) and molybdenum (Mo) down the soil profile, phosphorus (P) sorption by clay minerals, unavailability of […]

Dr FG Adriaanse, for Kimleigh Chemicals SA (Pty) Ltd Micro-elements Scientific tools for identifying essential micronutrient deficiencies are: At the same time, the following factors affecting the uptake by plant roots and assimilation within plants should be considered: Considering the above factors, it was decided to test two micronutrient compositions for maize according to very […]

Dr FG Adriaanse, for Kimleigh Chemicals SA (Pty) Ltd Copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo) are among those elements which have been well recognised as essential plant nutrients for soya production. However, up to now nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) have mostly not formed part of fertilisation programmes, even though Ni was documented to be an […]

Dr FG Adriaanse, for Kimleigh Chemicals SA (Pty) Ltd Nitrogen-stabilizers include both urease and nitrification inhibitors. Urease-inhibitors reduces the volatilization of nitrogen (N) in the form of ammonium gas from the soil surface and nitrification inhibitors reduces the leaching of nitrate-N through the soil profile. Urease inhibitors reduces the rate of conversion of urea to […]
