ASK THE PLANT® Analysis - for Brassicas
Monitor Nutrient Uptake in Broccoli, Kale, Cauliflower, Cabbage & Other Cole Crops
Maximize Marketable Yield in These Nutrient-Hungry Crops
Brassicas are known for their rapid growth, shallow roots, and high nutrient demands—especially for calcium, sulfur, and boron. Deficiencies in these or other key nutrients often go unnoticed until symptoms reduce quality, cause hollow stems, or limit head formation.
The Brassica Plant Tissue Test provides a complete analysis of both leaf and petiole nutrient levels, helping growers and consultants stay ahead of issues during critical stages of crop development. Whether you’re growing in open fields, tunnels, or organic systems, this test provides clear data to guide mid-season fertility decisions.

- Nitrogen (N)
- Phosphorus (P)
Petiole Nutrients (Sap Flow Indicators)
- Nitrate (NO₃)
- Phosphate (PO₄)
