How to Design Foliar Sprays

Watch this video to learn how foliar applications can increase crop and soil health over time. AEA founder John Kempf will describe how to develop synergistic product stacks for heightened crop impact, how to manage water quality, and what qualities of solutions are important to measure, such as pH, EC, and point of deliquescence.

No one has ever explained it as clearly as this. Thank you so much AEA and more power to all of you there!

'Synergistic Stacks' Great Webinar AEA. I appreciate you sharing so much practical knowledge. Having just that little guidance of using a refractometer to check the overall effectiveness of your foliar applications is motivating. New tools and new chores lead to new skills. Thank you :)

Wow this channel is a goldmine thank you for the presentation 🙏

[@dbesler]

After watching this, I'm about to only foliar clean my body with rain and reverse osmosis water... thank you for sharing all this amazing wisdom! I've been binge watching all of the content on this channel and I've learned so much!

[@danechristmas6570]

Great information. Very sensible approach on the clean water definition etc. Never really considered the effect it could have on tank mixtures efficiency, and by extension, overall plant health. Btw, also agree with the underlying premise of healthy plants creating healthy soils. Thanks again for sharing!

It's amazed me right away when I first used fulvic acid as a foliar spray, I definitely got a beautiful response in a matter of minutes. Extraordinary, especially knowing how little you actually need to use.

Great lecture again. If we can develop great soil, buy the best seeds and soak them in your seed soaking solution, we might not need foliar sprays for pest and disease control. But what about bud development and cell division time. Would they need microbial and biostimulants only or would Sap analysis tell us that even with sufficient amino acid chelated minerals in the soil we might need a spike in one of the minerals due to conflicts between minerals?

[@JohnKempfVisionBuilder]

In a perfect soil, with perfect biology, and perfect nutrient balance, adding biologicals and nutrients should not be necessary. Since few of us experience an ideal world, crops generally benefit from added bio stimulants.

Hello John, I follow all your webinar and now i start some of your course :) thx so much for all the work that you and your team did!! During this webinar you mention about use some product to deliquefate more the water, could be possible know the percentage % that you recomanded? And than I ask: it is possible use a ocean salt to do deliquefance? Thx so much! Eros from Italy ;)

[@RodFitzpatrick]

Hello John ... You often talk about using Urea .. I've noticed that different brands of Urea have different percentages of Biuret, usually from 1% to 5% ... Does a higher or lower percentage of Biuret make a difference to anything ?

[@andidelta9]

Hi there! is it probably a typo, at min 32 it says then. Shouldnt it be "when" ? Thanks!!

[@TheVigilantStewards]

What methods of structured water have you found to be the most legitimized? For instance, for home market growers with an RO system under the sink... can you just stir the water in a vortex for 10 minutes or do you need a magnetic pipe to pass the water through?

[@alexandreroy3610]

Would a few grams per hectar be sufficient to trigger those hormonal responses at CPI ? (i guess not enough to make up for defficiencies though) The amount to apply is quite complicated to figure out, any advice ? In France, we have this product Assimil K. When you apply it, you bring 3 g/ha Boron, 3g/ha Copper, 5g/ha manganese, 15 g/ha zinc, 27 g/ha magnesium and 14g/ha sulfur + little molybdenum. Does that make sense ? Would making this ourselfes by adding separated nutrients end up in the same result ? Should we rather ship your products from the US ? :p

Is Nitrogen in the form Urea ok to water plants with? Will the plant properly convert it to Amino Acids and whatever they need to use the N for? I haven't given my plants any Nitrogen besides for fresh grass clippings but I don't know if they may need more. I haven't given em any quick Nitrogen source. The leaves seem rather strong and hard compared to some of the other plants.

[@paulbraga4460]

a systems approach to foliar - the paradigm is: a healthy plant creates a healthy soil. foliar applications can and should be used to push photosynthesis or plant performance. different stages of growth dictate different formulations of foliar sprays - vegetative versus reproductive. more precisely, one must watch out for the changeover from vegetative to reproductive. there are other consideration like soil weaknesses, that is, the soil does not have good levels of this or that micronutrient, then this or that nutrient will be called for as foliar. there comes a time that foliar is no longer needed because the soil is now performing so well at giving the plant all its needs. --- need for foliar can be determined by simply trying it on some plants and see its effect with a brix leaf reading an hour after application - if it raises brix by a point, it is needed, trying 2 mixes and whichever gives a higher brix uptick is it. ------------ ingredients - very clean water, spreader/sticker/surfactant/nutrients (calcium,.......). plant biostimulants (gibberilins/cytokinins/ ---seaweeds/), microbial biostimulants (seaweeds, fulvic acid, humic acid), microbes (Tainio Biologicals) ------------------------ MIXING SEQUENCE - clean water - pesticides (but use this only when absolutely necessary) - nutrients - plant and then microbial biostimulants - microbes - spreader/sticker/surfactant

Great! Do you know where I can find some good products for plants here in Italy? I grow berries

Is rain water really clean? I would filter it before spraying on my clean plants in the greenhouse. I use spring water for everything, I assume its clean, but am getting it tested soon.

[@daveclark2774]

Is once refined soybean oil a good surfactant in your opinion?

[@thomasclassen7576]

Will RO water not cause the microbes to take on more water than their cell walls can accommodate in expansion and therefore kill many of them trying to equalize their mineral content with that of the solution?

[@ThePermacultureStudent]

[@josmith1005]

Regarding using an Electrical Conductivity limit of either 3.8 or 3800 you did not share the units of measure. To be clear is that millimhos to micro Siemens? Or were you using the conversion to TDS? I often hear that calculation to be around 700x. Thanks you for your talks and this clarification.

[@JohnKempfVisionBuilder]

Was referring to 3.8 microsiemens or 3800 millisiemens, not TDS.

[@aliyahjauza9353]

You said that spray solutions should contain small amount of a material with a high point of deliquescense such as sea crop, magnesiun choride, potasium nitrate, or calcium nitrate....do you mean all of that nutrient or it is ok just pick one ex just calsium nitrate

[@srikrishnabadami2135]

If it is recommended that nutrient A is to be mixed at 3ml/liter of water and nutrient B at 5 ml/liter, then what is the water requirement of the combination? Is it 3ml of A+5ml of B mixed in 1 liter or 3ml+5ml mixed in 2 liter?

[@user-lb3rb5ck8i]

John, please refer a document where is states if you go over 150 ppm your sprayed products efficiency is reduced by 70%

[@forestrussell-yount1355]

he was referring to hardwater and having 150 ppm worth of contaminants in your water before even adding nutrients

[@chadstallings5558]

[@gavinmatthews5618]

What about filtered city water?

[@AdvancingEcoAgriculture]

Hi Gavin, if the filter removes the chlorine and chloramines the city water can be an option for foliar sprays and irrigation.

suppose that I have such situations, I have a 100l pot in which at some stage began to appear spider mites, I made a mistake because at some stage I added a mixture of chicken and horse manure, hoping that this would improve the final harvesting effect. Observing the cover crop as it grows, and how the spider mites are beginning to appear on the bean, I wonder whether mixing on the surface of activated charcoal(not charged) will bind excess or balance nitrogen and improve biology? Listening to the information you provide and started checking brix, then apply KNF compost teas, mainly microbes plus kelp meal and actually from sick plants not resistant to pests with brixem max 5 I can say that under two applications in 10 days brix rose to 10 and plants they look more happy. I am wondering one thing because at certain times plant stalks are getting purple they become harder less elastic which can cause it?All problems it can be nitrate to ammonium disbalance?

[@JohnKempfVisionBuilder]

Spider mites generally appear when plants are high in ammonium. Ammonium can be reduced in the plant with a foliar application of magnesium, sulfur, molybdenum, and molasses or sugar. It can also be tied up in the soil when there is an excess with humic substances such as humates or humic acid. Biochar can help, but may not be enough.

[@Soilfoodwebwarrior]

Are you using foliar applications of fpj, or maintenance solution. Knf was wondering if this could work to supply micronutrients. Say with a comphrey fpj

[@shelburnjames7337]

Anaerobic soil at top via leaf decomposition of diverse plant fiber tillage aerobic blending with solubility reducer. If the plants leaf used minerals stored and dropped at its roots. The insects are a helpful diversity breaking up sick plants could it's anaerobic quality be something the herd of plants need if it's perennial biological family in various soils? Hypothetical rotation flaws nature?

Do you have an Australian reseller of your products?

[@AdvancingEcoAgriculture]

We do not currently have an Australian reseller, however, if you are located in Australia we recommend working with Hybrid Ag, hybridag.com.au, a company with similar concepts and principles as ours.

[@jasonstoll5388]

unfortunately not at this time.

[@ratemyboard]

I think there is a miswording in this. John said 70 ppm total hardness… I think he meant 70 ppm carbonate hardness. Total hardness refers to how much calcium and magnesium is in the solution. Carbonate hardness refers to how much carbonate are in the solution

NOTES best absorbed at 70 DEGREES best in evening or morning AEA products have agents to make foliars remain on leaf longer Do not apply during heavy DEW Do not apply when LEAF SURFACE TEMPERATURE exceeds 78 degrees. They have slower photosynthesis, switched to photo-respiration Weak systems and plants will have a strong response to foliars, measured in brix, that within a day recedes back downward; require more product Healthy plants have high product performance, less product is required, response is sustained longer, fewer applications needed
