[QUOTE="Steve Wilson, post: 629484, member: 8362"] I'l give it a shot but it has been many, many years since my soil chemestry classes in college. Simply put, complex nitrogen molecules are just too danged big to fit through the cell membranes in the root hairs of the plant. Soil microbes break these larger molecules down into a digestible size for the little guys to take into the roots. Foliar (liquid) applied nitrogen is already small and can easily pass through the cell walls of the leafs. [/QUOTE]
