Foliar S.O.P and Gypsum

Been looking into foliar applications lately and their pros and cons, wondering if anyone’s using it on grassland? I understand taking cuts takes a lot of Potash out the ground and would be nice to get it back in quicker, also not forgetting normal application of typical granular form. Also seen some info online about foliar gypsum.

For the price of what it costs to do an acre or so I’m not losing out on anything, what are peoples thoughts?

Foliar potash is not really a replacement for potash imo

if you need potash apply it either from a bag or with organic
Not really looking to replace anything to be honest, just thought that foliar feeding might be a good method for a quick “top up” ready for a good base when the conditions are right
