Part 4 (5) Calcium

Calcium occurs mostly in sedimentary but also in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Calcium deficiency can cause stunted plant growth because it regulates transport of other nutrients into the plant and helps activate certain plant enzymes. Once again (and this will be repeated again and again simply because of the very nature of the natural chain of events that comprise a balanced natural system) if the natural balance is disturbed, the whole cycle is interrupted. There could be an abundance of calcium in a farmers field, but if the soil lacks other essential elements needed by plants, the role played by an even abundant element becomes ineffectual. So, once again, a natural diversity has first to be established, and then maintained. The establishment and of such a system may be difficult for a farmer and the road to achieving a result from which the farmer can still produce the crop yields they have produced with the aid of toxic chemicals, may be a long one, but ultimately it will be worth it and yields and crop quality will be improved and more importantly, the land will remain productive and healthy year after year............as ever, much more to come, keep watching
