What were the weather conditions like when you applied it? How close to other applications of sprays?Is it just us or has this year been bad for it?
I use Ammonium sulphate,would that be comparable in effect on scorch?You need to add Mancozeb or Elemental sulphur to dull the scorch effect.
There are sometimes quite a few impurities that actually cause scorch. The idea of the above is to create a film on the leaf that stops the sun, frost or wind doing damage.I use Ammonium sulphate,would that be comparable in effect on scorch?
Is this tank mixed with fertiliser or a prior application ?You need to add Mancozeb or Elemental sulphur to dull the scorch effect.
Will any molasses do ? I've used an EEDF Mann product in the past, which gave good results in the past to reduce scorch on a late application. It was expensive. Think it was called black goldI'm adding molasses to my final application next week . Will do some trial (missed ) strips and post results .
Yes the product i used was filtered fairly thoroughly, hence the expense i guess.You wouldn't want many solids in molasses though through dribble bars/stream nozzles it shouldn't be too bad if you can get it past the filters. Not all molasses are the same quality.
Tank mix, takes the heat out. less scorch.Is this tank mixed with fertiliser or a prior application ?
On the subject of liquid N.
I was considering it on WOSR once flowering is complete. I was advised not to as scorch was a risk.
I see the AHDB suggest late liquid N can give a good response so that’s what had me thinking.
Any comments?
The product I had in mind was Omex Nitro Flo (26N, 2S).Consistency of responses has not always been there in drier climates. With good yield potential, a high clearance sprayer and rain after application, why not? What product were you thinking of? Liquid fertiliser or a Poly N type?
