Please excuse the late reply to this topic. I looked at the site that Pedro
supplied the link for, and if one reads carefully, the only thing they are
saying there is that the plants absorbed the vitamin B1. I don't doubt that
their conclusion is valid as far as it goes. What the real question is, and
what they didn't study is, does that vitamin B1 that the plants have
absorbed do them any good? That is what other studies have addressed, and
they have apparently shown mixed results, but it seems they tend to show no
benefit.

Greetings...

Yes, Vitamin again :-)
Sory to bring this back... most of the messages I see here about this told
that plants cannot absorb vitamins, for some time I really went for it, it
had some logic in the explanations... but today I read the following site

http://www.soilandhealth.org/01aglib...asil.ptIIId.ht
ml
So... it seems that plants do absorb vitamin B1!!!!
Is there a diferent opinion? Is there some site that goes against this
studie?
