ecmn | There is a lot of data saying yes drone feeding has a huge potential.
Look at the nutrient uptake charts
Look at what every high yield grower is doing
I did source(1oz) sugar(pint) and phosphite acid (quart) and got 10-13 bushel.
I would bet a quart of potassium acetate would outperform 30 lbs of dry spread on the ground that late in the year 9 times out of 10.
Plain and simple, the yield response is from filling a gap because the plant is inhaling K at this time and the soil can't keep up. To drop dry fertilizer at this time would be very ineffective/inefficient because of the time it takes to get the K into the root zone for the plant.
I'm in a low yield environment and with a couple quarts of K liquid foliar I replaced 100lbs of dry,
There is a mountain of data from universities and independent companies that K deficiencies are wide spread at reproduction time
If you're in a high yield environment or situation you're not looking for major pounds at this point. all you're doing is looking to fill some gaps in the plants needs that the soil simply can't provide fast enough. Small doses pay big.

Is Drone Fertilization in Corn a High-Yield Investment or Just a Trend?
