Isn't it mad spraying sugar/ feed products on crops? Bit like burning wood to dry wood for RHI?!
@wellingtonfarmer to take out more fibrous matter to prevent/reduce blockages of filters etc
@wellingtonfarmer molale may well be ok in your sprayer but you will need reasonably coarse filters and large nozzles I would think

What sort of rates are you going at?

Would getting some catering size packets of sugar and drilling it in a micro seeder/slug bait bin at sowing time be less fuss if you want to give the soil some sugar?
Or you could chuck it in the induction hopper of your sprayer?!?
Hi Simon, do you apply with spray nozzles in conjunction with N20 or maybe Manganese at all ?
Got some Boost here but not sure what mixes well when applied to crop via foliage?

Andrew, I haven't used it for anything, other than with liquid 28N but don't see you would have any problem mixing it with nutrition and pushing it through a nozzle. If you are worried about blockages, it goes through a red Agroco restrictor, which is the second lowest volume they do and has a pretty small hole.

Have just tried 2000 litres of L-cbf-boost manly put it in with fert but also mixed 5 litres in with some T1 going on at 120 litres per ha no problem.
Thanks , I will try a bucket compatability mix and see how it goes.
I should be ok on the nozzle front as I normally use hollow cones or Brown 05 guardian Airs for that job anyway.
Filtration is fairly coarse as well.
This dry spell just goes on, and on.

Just ordered some L-CBF Boost from QLF direct. £640 for 1000 litres. Will leave some untreated tramlines to compare.

20 l/ha with t2 and then another 10 l/ha with either protein or t3.
Seems to mix with anything.

Would anyone be tempted to mix some LCBF Boost in with liquid fert when drilling OSR

I tried tipping a whole bottle of cola on an area of lawn to see if it shows a difference but nothing ever showed up.

Another cost if theres no benefit would be more than happy to use if it can be justified

why would you not add boost?
