[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 676037, member: 4362"] From what I've read it is just a foliar feed just like Monty's. All foliar feeds work to some degree but not in the manner that many claim they do. Foliar fertilizers are not a replacement for fertilizer just an added ammendment. It is chemically impossible for some of these products to do what they claim them to do. Foliar applications are used here a lot on high dollar crops to enhance he color and market price of the crop or to help set the fruit. What you have to be careful with is the fact that you can mine and deplete your soil reserves. It is very costly if you do this - don't ask me how I know this. :oops: ;-) :lol2: If you are wanting to try this you might look around and find some other foliar feeds. They are cheap. Another thing you might want to try that is dirt cheap is liquid iron. This sells for about $20 for a 5 gallon jug. Apply a quart per acre which will make your cost $1 per acre. It will green it up by enhancing the photosynthesis and in turn the sugar production. To add another level to this experiment, apply a foliar feed to the other half of the field and see which one gives the most bang for your buck. Cut hay on it twice then take a soil test and compare this to your original soil test and I think you will arrive at the same conclusion as I have which is in keeping with this thread. [/QUOTE]
