The Plant BATTERY! 

How the right nutrients makes ALL the difference!

 

Are you paying for the right nutrients?  For instance, imagine a cell phone without battery. Similarly, plants must have its own battery to maintain adequate growth. This is only possible if the right nutrients were supplied at the right time. What are these plant batteries?

Ferredoxin are the most important molecules discovered in the 1960s and these iron-sulfur molecules store the electrons that are "excited" by photon (light) and release these electrons during essential reactions, including photosynthesis.  Unfortunately, most commercial micro nutrients products lack the "right" source of iron, sulfur or iron-sulfur molecules, which results in low uptake, high precipitation, immobility and lack of readily available BUILDING BLOCKS. Note that compatibility with other nutrients is the reason leaf tissue analysis don't provide an accurate profile of metal content as it can be in precipitated form with phosphates or sulfates, which results in early senescence.

 

Here is an example of Ferredoxin providing electrons in inorganic nitrogen to protein and aminoacids reactions.  Who is the LIMITING factor in these reactions?
