Soil reports very good - everything in range except low Mn - added Mn to planting mounds today with some added gypsum as well, even though both Ca and Mg reported high in report. Nothing else needed except the usual NPK later.
Disease report excellent, even though both pythium and fusarium were high last year and likely the cause of a poor harvest. I think that was due to all the raw mushroom soil I added last spring - won't do THAT again. Last fall rototilled in fungicide and 800 lbs of expensive sterile dried commercial mushroom. Now Fusarium has 0 cfu and pythium only 1 cfu. Phytophthora and verticillum not detected. Great start!
Still have another 800 lbs of the ESDMS to top dress after rototill rest of patch later.
