Dave,

As long as you are in here.

I have a soil nutrient question.

At NMSU  there is a veggie growing table with the N- P requirements for
chiles  showing N = 1.5 and P = 1.5.

On another NMSU page there is a statement that Potassium is very high in NM
soils ergo K levels are not given on NMSU pages.

Not even in the mineral content of cow flop..

Most other veggie listings I can find list that P and K should be a 1 to 1
ratio. But chiles are not on most veggie list.

NMSU is the only site that shows the N requirements for chiles is lower than
for tomatoes or bells.

Bottom line is can I assume that for chiles  the P - K ratio  remains true
for chiles in soils that are potassium poor.

Thanks
L.B.
