Please could anyone help clarify to me the nutrient cycle of root and tuber crops like garlic, ginger, onion, taro, sweet potato, carrots, etc. are they all having the same nutrient cycle or does it vary. You could also direct me to any resource for further studies. thank you

most do vary depending on the type of plant and its nutrient needs ie: potatoes are more a heavy phos feeder wile onions are a heavy nitrogen feeder also cycles may differ from say most radish (short cycle) to most garlic (long cycle) ….knowing the needs and cycle of each plant is a real help in figuring out how and when to use each solution ….wile some root veg you might want to go to flower before harvesting some you never want to go to flower before harvesting therefor there needs and cycles differ greatly …..theres a guide here at https://naturalfarminghawaii.net/2011/01/21/natural-farming-fertilizer-application-guide/ to give a general idea ..you would be looking for the link marked as (Plant Nutritive Cycles Presentation) its a very good place to start it uses Taro as the example plant for root veg
Happy Experimenting
