Get de plane into those lentils and peas. They blast that fungicide down to the ground and no tires spreading disease around. That's where we have gotten the best results and we've tried both ways. Last year with the prices of peas in lentils, it really paid.

Bucket $20 an acre. I think you mean $2.

I would say I can easily say my costs all in are less than 2 and likely more like $1.50.

OK sure.

Let's just go with that. You can come spray my farm for 4 bucks an acre. That's a great roi for you and even better for me.

I will gladly pay you to do it.

General question does the Alpine help or hinder the fungicide. My supplier has done trials with similar products and found no yield advantage and in most cases not recommended by the chemical company. Have found a definite yield advantage in CPS wheat of fungicide use. Canola hit and miss. Definite plus in malt barley. Remember suppliers love both fungicides and foiar fert for the good margins.

Don't waste your money on foliar "feeding".
Plants were never meant to take nutrients in through their leaves, and won't unless they're starving.

Put fertilizer on in the spring.

I like the idea of foliar feeding and we are trying some this year. Really liked the micros on our peas that prevented the yellow flash. That was an eye opener. Environment conditions will dictate whether any decision is/was the right one. I think alot of the info regarding foliar feeding is finding a balance of nutrients within the plant.
