ecmn | Follow the rules to a good foliar pass. You're already at the right growth stage. Sounds like you're at a very accurate rate of nutrients.
If you're using a high quality product from like Brandt, Conklin, Alpine, growers mineral... Growers mineral would be food grade about the least risk of burn and one of the most efficient Uptake.
Sometimes they might be trying to sell you an ortho or polyphosphate product. Commodity grade ingredients. High salt not really designed for foliar feeding. Compared to a food grade. Grower's mineral yeah you might save some money on a per gallon cost. But uptake by the plant and trying to trigger that plant. I would pay for the good stuff up front. Quality inn is quality out
Reputable quality places like that burn should be minimal.
It's my understanding that a lot of our burn comes from the salts and not as much from the fertilizer
Me personally I would go the 0-20-20 high quality acetate product, and then maybe like some coron from Helena. A foliar safe nitrogen product
I don't have experience of mixing fungicides and insecticides with my foliar feed so I don't know if they can increase the risk of burn or not.
I do know that me personally if I did not see a pest issue, I would not be spraying an insecticide. As far as the fungicide goes, unless you already see something, I would switch to a reputable phosphite acid product and go after the plant health and root stimulation benefit of that without the harm to the system from the death side of the fungicide
