[compost_tea] Micronutrient and Tea

Based on what Elaine says about how microbes help the uptake of foliar
nutrients, does it apply to the situation that if I add CaNO3, complexed
by fulvic acid, into the Compost Tea and hope the microbes will help the
update of Ca?

The microbes on the leaf surfaces just IMPROVE the uptake of foliar
nutrients. Uptake is controlled by stomate opening, and opening the
stomates depends on CO2 concentration in the atmosphere of the leaf.
Microbes respire, increase CO2 concentration in the leaf surface
atmosphere, and speed the stomatees opening, increase the time they stay
open.

As weather gets drier, the microbes have less water, they respire less.


Works pretty well to help plants pump nutrients in when it's appropriate
to do so.
