The Soil Wealth ICP team is developing a series of crop nutrition guides to help growers, advisors and other vegetable industry service providers to manage crop-specific nutrition. This guide focuses on broccoli/cauliflower crops and explores key considerations to ensure crop growth and nutrient needs are met, including:

  • Growth stages of the crop and the nutritional focus for each stage
  • Determining and calculating nutrient removal
  • Factors affecting nutrient availability and uptake in the crop
  • Approaches to crop monitoring, and
  • Other helpful resources and information on nutrient functions.

The additional crop nutrition guides are in progress and will be published in the coming weeks – stay tuned!
