COPPER
Benefits of Use:
- Increases enzyme activity in the metabolism of plant
- Has a regulatory effect when soil nitrogen is high
- Has a role in the production of Vitamin A within the plant and funtions in chlorophyll formation
- May be used with sulfur to improve plant tolerance of environmetal stresses
Deficiency Symptoms—When to Apply:

How Dry Conditions Drive #Plant25 Decisions
There’s an old saying in farming: “Plant in dust, your bins will bust”. The premise is that dry soils will encourage faster, deeper root growth early in the season, which will lead to more robust root systems and stronger plants throughout the growing season. Conversely, crops planted in ideal moisture conditions may become lazy and their roots remain shallow, causing potential problems later in the season when summer heat and dry conditions often arise. If that old adage is true, then Midwest farmers would be looking at a bumper crop in 2025. Then again, there’s dry, then there’s very dry.
It All Has to Start With The Soil
The Soil Health Institute has released a 60-minute documentary, Living Soil, that captures the history — and significance — of the soil health movement.
