[QUOTE="Mrs Knockie, post: 849272, member: 2076"] The way I've understood it for a while now, and I'm sure Elaine talked about this on Thursday, is that NO3 is not absorbed straight into plants roots, but needs to be 'eaten' by bacteria first. Plants excrete root exudates (cookies and cakes) to keep the soil biology fed and working for them, and I suppose you could look at this as the plant giving away some potential yield. But without doing this the plant will not get the nutrients it needs, so yield will be limited/zero anyway. Happy to be corrected though! [/QUOTE]
