The use of a non-ionic agricultural surfactant is recommended especially for waxy or hairy plants to help the spray droplets to stick.


Spray a fine mist to coat the leaves (including the undersides of the leaves) and stems. The undersides of the leaves have less wax and more stomata which will allow more nutrient to enter the leaf tissue. Spray just enough so that there is little to no run-off. This will help prevent wastage and also help the environment by preventing the nutrient from entering groundwater.

 

Test a small area first before spraying the entire crop. Spray a few plants, wait 48 hrs and check plants for foliar burn before proceeding with the whole crop. If there is any foliar burn, use a weaker solution and test spray another section before proceeding.

 

Avoid spraying on hot days, in strong sunshine, or in windy or rainy conditions. If it rains within 4 hours of spraying, re-spray again within 3 to 4 days.

 

Stricly follow the mixing directions to avoid foliar burn and damage to crops. Weaker solutions are ok to use. Smaller, frequent applications are better than less-frequent heavy applications. For treating severe deficiencies, repeat application every 7 to 10 days.
