Re: CS>Plant derived minerals, What other kind ?

A molecule of nitrogen,  ( the kind a plant can eat ) is the same no matter if another plant made it, man made it, or the soil and enzymes made it. No plant will eat  NH4, they eat only NO3. Most chemists would agree with me.  I agree they may be chelated  and in different forms, at times. But some forms, the plants will not eat.  They must be changed, ( chelated ) by soil and enzymes, unless MAN made them right the first time. Wayne I wasn't referring to biological transmutation. The pithy put-down that says the plant doesn't know the difference between nitrogen forms rates attention only as a curious form of kindergarten nonsense.. 80% of the air is nitrogen all of it unusable by green plants, it has to be combined with other elements to make ammonium and nitrate compounds before it can be incorporated into proteins. Microbes make the natural nitrogen cycle work, most notably Rhizobium, which exists in a symbiotic  partnership  with plants/roots. Nitrogen isn't alone in requiring the help of microbes before it can be made fit for plant use. Just as nitrogen must first be converted to nitrate, phosphorus must be converted to phosphate, sulfur to sulphate, chlorine to chloride, boron to borate, and molybdenum to molybdate, and so on. So you don't really feed the plants, you are actually feeding the microbes. The plants food is predigested and only gets what the microbes give it.
