I just watched an Dr.Elaine Ingham episode earlier on brix. The gentleman that was giving the information was in line with this information. But he added some things I have not heard before. Such as, testing in the morning and afternoon. Any variances can tell you what your soil is low in, and if there is a sudden drop, the plant sensed severe weather on the way. Never knew plants did that. Thanks for all this information.

I did a video that literally showed the difference in insect attack on a healthy vs unhealthy plant. I also did a trial that showed aphids on one side of a grow chamber and not on the other. The only difference was the BRIX.

One place to start is with your local (county) or state extension service to see what kinds of resources they have for education, data, testing, etc. They may be able to connect you with a local farmer, grower, or agronomist who may be willing to assist. Also if you have any local network of community gardens or support organization for community gardens, local beekeepers association, or social media homesteading or gardening groups you might connect with someone who might share their tools or advice

How do you get the brix up???
@sudarmiadi4496

Their not answer it here, they wanna keep you hang up so you must watch the upcoming video. But, here I'll make some guess, that we need to increase the input of potassium phosphorus and sulfur yet also maintaining the ratio to Calcium because too much potassium will suppress the availability of Ca, and also reducing the nitrogen input during generative stage. This is proven methot used by cantaloupe / melon growers to produce higher brix fruit. To much nitrogen will makes plants absorb too much water, this will effect the brix

Thank you so much for your videos I have been in the landscape maintenance industry for over 30 years now and have never seen the refractometer applied to ornamental plants or turf grass Can I do this test of brix for turf grass and would it be the same as discussed in this video? Thank you Adam Southeastern North Carolina
@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium
Ай бұрын
While the principles discussed in the video primarily focus on agricultural crops, the underlying concept of measuring the sugar content to assess plant health is universal. For turf grass, maintaining a higher BRIX level can indicate healthier grass, potentially more resistant to pests and diseases. You might need to adjust your management practices to achieve optimal BRIX levels, similar to what’s done in agriculture.

@marcuss5330

correct me if i'm wrong. plants pump up liquides while evaporating. so midday is most of the time the sun peak and therefore to content of minerals and sugr should be highest during this time. .
@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium
24 күн бұрын
Yes, plants are more actively photosynthesizing during the peak sunlight hours, which increases the sugar concentration in the sap. Ideally, BRIX should be measured between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM when the sugar content is at its highest due to peak sunlight and plant activity.
@SoilWorksLLC-GSRCalcium
24 күн бұрын
Something else to be mindful of - significant variations in BRIX readings between morning and evening can indicate potential issues with energy and mineral absorption, so consistent high midday readings are a good sign of plant health.

So if the plant is low on sugar this means there's not enough photosynthesis. The question we have to ask is why. Not enough carbon? Not enough Hydrogen? Not enough Oxygen? Not enough solar energy? The last 2 are most difficult to regulate, but all of them can partially (or completely) be influenced by humans... The question is do we need to adapt the environment/nature for the plants or do we just need to accept it as is and adapt ourselves to nature...
