| I read foliar gets it to the plants. I've not done it. But with the crop a foot or two tall, I don't think its time to invade the root zone with a coulter to put something in the row. So that leaves foliar to get the crop this year (thinking June) after the early tissue tests. Were I to do some foliar, I think I'd set up my sprayer boom with narrow nozzles only over the plants and try to concentrate the application on the plants, letting only over spray hit the dirt or weeds, (and the run off). When we spray for weeds we want continuous coverage to get the weeds out in the open and between the crop plants in the row, but foliar we want to concentrate on the plants. It might be that a pair of nozzles each side of the plant spraying horizontal towards the plant would be more effective. Like an applicator for fungicide for soybean rust, it does not good on the weeds or the ground. But it does the most good when it gets to all the leaves of the plant.
