I know were your at the high amount of gypsum I put on my patch working good for pumpkins making my okra show MG deficient and pepper begging for potassium.never seen that and I've been growing them forever ever. the balance is not the same for all plants.
wish I could grow tomatoes.2-4-D Dicamba and especially quinclorac will not allow it.
I have a micro nutrient package with zinc if you need zinc email me. it liquid easy to use.

Yeah, AGs handle nutrients differently. There are some similarities but each kind of plant handles things differently. It's interesting.

Each plant has it's own strengths and weaknesses for dealing with soil nutrients. Some are so poorly adapted to certain deficiencies that they can be deployed to act as the "canary in the coal mine"... An early alert system.

And every plant has its PH sweet spot.
Animals and people have the same exact problems, my mother has wavy magnesium problem and it causes her crazy muscle cramps because her potassium is blocked. If I give my Bermuda grass the potassium it needs and I grow a winter annual (wheat,rye, rye grass)my cattle get grass Tetany MG deficiency.
