How to Visually Look for Plant Nutrient Deficiencies

Cultivating healthy plants can be quite a delicate art as they need just the right amount of nutrients to thrive. Any more or any less than the plant needs and their growth will be affected, resulting in a lower-than-expected yield. Fortunately, most plants will show physical signs of nutrient deficiency if they aren’t getting the right balance of nutrients in the correct frequency. Plants require both macronutrients and micronutrients for healthy growth. Macronutrients include phosphorous, nitrogen, sulfur, calcium and potassium while micronutrients include boron, zinc, copper and chlorine. If your plants aren’t getting enough of either micro or macronutrients, their…

Coal Market Outlook Dampens as Prices in China Drop to Lowest Levels in a Year

Slow recovery in the consumption of coal in China, which is the biggest consumer of coal globally, also indicates a moderate rebound in growth and power consumption. Analysts predict that the demand for coal in China will grow 2% in…
