I just got back the tissue and soil analyses. They don't jive at all. Soil says I have way too little manganese, tissue analysis says it is too high. Tissue boron is is low, soil is high.

So what do you do? Go with the plant analysis or the soil analysis or split the difference or just wing it?

Thanks.

What is your PH? What was your soil temperature when the tissue sample was taken? What is your organic matter%? How old was the plant?

All large factors

The best way to go is with a plant sap analyses. That will tell you what is actually moving through your plant. Soil testing says what is in your soil but not what is available to your plant. Tissue analyses tells you what is in your plant but not necessarily available to your plant.
