For healthy plants, test your garden’s soil for pH level
Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:37:40 GMT
Healthy plants are the most critical component of a thriving garden. And one of the best ways to keep them that way is to make sure your soil’s pH level suits their needs.Every plant requires a specific soil pH range within which it can best absorb essential nutrients. Because the optimal range is different for every plant, gardeners should learn the pH requirements of each one. For example, carnations require a pH range of 6.7-6.9; turfgrasses, 6.3-6.8; tomatoes, 6.2-6.8; rhododendrons and azaleas, 4.5-6; blueberries, 4.5-5.5.WHAT’S pH?Soil pH indicates the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil, as measured on a 14-point scale. A pH of 7 is neutral. Values below 7 are acidic, and those above 7 are alkaline. Each unit on the scale is 10 times removed from the next, so a pH reading of 7.0 is 10 times higher than a reading of 6.0. That means a mere 1-unit difference is huge.If the pH isn’t suited for a specific plant, it won’t be able to absorb enough nutrients, whether na...Consol Energy: Q1 Earnings Snapshot

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:37:40 GMT
Pfizer topped Wall Street expectations Tuesday even as sales of its top-selling COVID-19 vaccine crumbled in the first quarter. Revenue from Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine fell 77% to $3 billion in the first three months of the year, compared with more than $13 billion during the same stretch last year.The drop was widely expected because the drugmaker is moving this year from supplying governments through big contracts to selling the vaccine on the commercial market. Pfizer expects sales from Comirnaty to drop 64% this year and revenue from its market-leading COVID-19 treatment Paxlovid to slide 58% due to this shift. Sales of Paxlovid actually jumped past $4 billion in the first quarter, largely due to the timing of a final delivery for Pfizer’s U.S. government contract. Pfizer expects commercial sales for both to kick in later this year, after leftover government inventory is absorbed.Both the vaccine and treatment have generated billions in revenue for Pfizer over the last sev...Agco: Q1 Earnings Snapshot
