Nutrient availability

Nutrient availability across pH ranges.

Read text version

Relative availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, boron, copper, zinc and molybdenum across pH 4.0–10.0. CropSalt’s optimal range is pH 5.8–6.4.

Propagation runs lower on purpose

The optimal range is pH 5.8–6.4. Our clone and rooting guides use pH 5.5–5.7 on purpose, then move into the optimal range once plants are rooted.
