And so would you if you just looked up what sort of figures you should
be expecting. Try a few textbooks and references, or do you think that
they are giving incorrect figures just to catch out those who are pro-
organic?
For farmers farming on deficient soils, or soils with excessive levels,
these figures are not some advertising guff, you know. They are critical
to growing a crop. As a result the figures are rather well known so if
you go quoting silly ones, you are going to get picked up on it.
Sorry about that.
