For a little experiment I did a couple of tissue tests to compare young leaves either side of the fruit. The results suggest that the pumpkin is absorbing potassium, calcium, iron, manganese and boron in much larger amounts than the other elements. This isn't a proper experiment with controls etc, but it does give food for thought. If anything it shows that I need to get more calcium and boron into the plant, not easy as both are quite immobile in plant tissue. I will increase foliar InCa application to twice a week, up the Omina levels in the water tanks and add extra Mn, B and a Ca chelate to the weekly trace element foliar sprays that I've been doing.
