Explain what is the deficient nutrient and what other problems the plant might have when it comes to the water electro conductivity level, type of soils and nut and have a solution to this situation.

Explain what is the deficient nutrient and what other problems the plant might have when it comes to the water electro conductivity level, type of soils and nut and have a solution to this situation. please read the uploaded material and provide that my professor asks. thank you very much You are a Certified Crop Advisor with a client near Willcox, Arizona. Your client, Apple Amy, is an organic apple grower with 65 acres of apples. The trees are 12 years old and the stand population is 120 trees/acre. This grower is disappointed with her apple production and has hired you to help solve the problem. The main symptoms she has noted are low fruit production and yellowing of older leaves. The soil is the Sonoita series, with a surface texture of sandy loam.

Current management practices:

N management: The grower has purchased organic fish emulsion which contains 3.7
% N. She has applied 5 gal/acre twice per season based upon the salesman’s advice. The density of the emulsion is 9.8 lbs/gal.
Other nutrients: None applied recently.
Soil test results: See attached.
Water test results: See attached.
Irrigation: Solid-set sprinklers. Not sure of amount of water applied.
Leaf issue test results: See attached.

Your mission: Evaluate the current situation and recommend needed changes.

1. You should evaluate the nutrient management based upon
a. Current nutrient applications
b. Soil tests, additional soil information from Web Soil Survey
c. Tissue tests
d. Nutritional needs of apples (you’ll have to look this up)
2. Evaluate irrigation practices based upon
a. Irrigation water quality (water test results)
b. Local climate data (from AZMET)
c. Crop water needs (you’ll have to look this up)
3. Devise a management plan including
a. Any needed fertilizers (remember she is an organic grower)
b. Soil amendments
c. Needed changes in irrigation system or practices
d. Recommend any routine sampling and analysis needed.
e. Specify amounts, forms, and timing of application(s) for all recommended fertilizer materials.
f. A budget for your recommended practices
g. References for your sources of information

All management practices must comply with current USDA guidelines for organic crop production.
