Super interesting and highly relevant to precision fertilization

@VolcaninstituteOct 25
50โ€“74% of total crop potassium uptake in alkaline #Mediterranean #soils is drawn directly from non-exchangeable clay mineral pools. Ultimately, non-exchangeable potassium pools substantially sustain plant uptake in intensive agriculture, highlighting the need to reassess #fertilization practices across Mediterranean agroecosystems.

This should be pushed far and wide. Watched in every college class in the U.S. Thank you @billmaher The moral confusion is gross. "It is not a genocide, it is a counterattack in a war...Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie (as I have argued from first hand observations in Gaza). The fact that so many democrats go along with it is to me the party's worse moment since they undid reconstruction after the civil war...words have meaning...genocide, kill or try to kill an entire people, you can't just change the definition of genocide to mean counterattack in a war where people including civilians die, that's every war..."
