Broccoli

Broccoli can be grown on a wide variety of soils but it does best on a well-drained, loam soil, rich with organic matter. Sandy loams are preferred for early crops. Adjust soil pH to 6.5-6.8 to maximize yields.

Carrot

Carrot is a heavy potassium and calcium feeder. It requires 3-fold and 2-fold of these nutrients, respectively, as compared to the nitrogen rate. Potassium promotes solid, sweet carrots.

Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a relatively cool-season crop, with optimum growth temperature around 17 °C, but it also tolerates rather low temperatures. It also tolerates wide range of pH values (5.5–7.5) and rather brackish soils.

Celery

Celery is a heavy feeder so unless the soil is extremely fertile, it normally requires the application of large quantities of nutrients. Up to 100 MT/ha may be applied but keep nitrogen levels under control.

Leafy Salads

Lettuce requires cool temperatures of 15–20 °C. The iceberg varieties will not form heads in hotter conditions. It is a rapid growing crop with a life-cycle of 45-70 days from seeding/planting to harvest.

Onion

Onion requires potassium at rates equal to nitrogen, but calcium is required at considerably higher rates. High nutrient availability is important during bulb-formation; in this phase a high K:N ratio is required.

Herbs

Parsley is a short-growing crop, grown exclusively for its green leaves. Depending on the length of the growth season, 3–4 crops can be harvested.

Potato

Potato has a high nitrogen requirement but K- requirement is even higher. High calcium application enhances tubers' storability.

Read more

Spinach

Spinach has a high nutrient requirement, so soil should be deep and fertile. It has a moderate salt tolerance, and its yield-loss salinity-threshold is 3-4 dS/m.

Sweet pepper

Sweet pepper grows best on sandy-loamy soils. The crop is a heavy potassium-, and calcium feeder. Potassium is removed at a rate ~50% higher than nitrogen.

Tomato

Tomato is a high potassium and calcium requiring crop. Potassium is removed at a rate ~80% higher than nitrogen. Calcium deficiency inevitably produces "blossom-end rot" of the fruit. Tomatoes are rather resistant to salinity, and cherry-tomatoes even develop a sweeter taste when grown under moderate salinity.
