Today we talk about carbon, nitrogen and their ratio (C/N); we talk about soil fertility, organic matter and collaboration with the soil. It was a difficult video, while the heat is gripping us, reasoning seriously and logically seems impossible (sorry for the uncertainties, they are due to tiredness!) Fertilization alchemists and agriculture enthusiasts, good morning! Welcome to PNA Plant Nutrition Alchemy, the channel dedicated to plant fertilization and nutrition. ⬇ (Come on, don't be shy, take a look below!) ⬇ Today's topic is one of those that really make me go crazy, I like talking about soil, fertility and the well-being of our plants. Follow me in this very tiring discussion due to the scorching heat. Whether you are a farmer or simply an enthusiast, you will find a lot of useful advice, it will be up to you to adopt the ones you consider most suitable for your way of growing and fertilizing. Below I have put the chapters, so as to allow you to go directly to the topics that interest you most. Here are the chapters of this video: 0:00:00 Introduction 0:02:15 The three souls of the soil 0:03:25 The biological component of the soil 0:06:00 Two different directions: mineralization and immobilization 0:07:45 The C/N ratio 0:08:40 The optimal values for the soil 0:11:00 Organic matrices and optimal values for fertilizers 0:16:10 The supercazzola moment 0:17:25 What happens to our plants and some practical advice As usual, I invite you to watch the video presentation of the channel, if you haven't already done so, it will give you an idea of how I approach plant nutrition and fertilization: • Fertilization or Nutrition - Plants... Other important videos: Nitrogen in plants: • Nitrogen in plants: what is it for and what... A small disclaimer must be made, as usual, it is not my claim to take a university course in soil chemistry or agronomy, what I would like to do is keep a more practical, simpler and, if possible, more fun approach. Simpler does not mean less effective or not based on technique and science, I just leave university courses to the universities. Furthermore, I hope in the meantime to be able to open fruitful discussions with the community that will make us all improve. So whether you are farmers or gardening enthusiasts, whether you have hectares of land or just a small vegetable garden, get on board and let's start our journey together! #fertilization #nitrogen #agriculture This is currently the home outside Youtube of the Plant Nutrition Alchemy project https://www.winebo.it This is the telegram group to have a chat and stay informed! https://t.me/plantnutritionalchemy For the moment the videos are made with these two things (very cheap asset, suitable for everyone): Aukey Webcam: https://amzn.to/2NXPOKW Yanmai Microphone: https://amzn.to/3bB3fZB
