[QUOTE="Cutlerstom, post: 7407641, member: 15572"] Ive learned a lot (or heard a lot) from podcasts and webinars regarding the efficiencies of foliar treatments. What I take from these (and this applies to a lot of ag chems too) is that I need to take more care in formulation and application. This means thinking about the water hardness, rain water is better, but failing that do we need to drop the pH, or try and remove some of the carbonates. Add a chelator - Fuliv acid has a CEC of 5000 or so, and seems to improve uptake of applied nutrients and herbicides. Molasses is also good I hear. Are we using the right nozzles to hit as much of both sides of the leaf as we can? Is the RH ok? Application ideally needs to be made early morning when the humidity is high and stomata open. heat of the day = decreased uptake. Personally, I have not been paying enough attention to detail with these things, and as a consequence, perhaps am not getting the reponses from TE that I hope for... [/QUOTE]
