Serious Soil Science and AGT-50 Benefits
A Summary of Cations & Anions Cations and anions are the positive and negative charge of ions. This controls what the plant uptakes and controls the plant sap pH. When the plant sap pH is around 6.4, the entire plant resists environmental pressure like mold, water stress and harmful insects. "CEC" stands for cation exchange capacity. It's the capacity to allow those ions to interact with the water and fertilizer that the plant needs. AGT-50 contains many electrolytes. It lets
