What are the benefits of kelp for plants?

What are some tips for foliar feeding?
Foliar feeding works well with all types of sprayers, including hand trigger sprayer, garden or backpack sprayer, power pack boom or mist blower. Fine mist particles are most effective. Foliar nutrient spraying is simple and effective. These tips are not “musts” but may be of help:
- Add a good clean surfactant or soap to make the water solution wetter and improve leaf absorption.
- Mix concentrate with enough water to spray evenly over entire leaf surface, including undersides if possible.
- Neutralized water, pH 6.5 to 7.5, increases effectiveness. Vinegar, for alkaline water or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), for acid water, can be used in small quantities to neutralize.
- Spray in the early morning after the dew is off the plants and plant metabolism is high. Late evening is also a good time to spray.
- Spray when soil is dry.
- Our research indicates that a high soil phosphate level increases the effectiveness of foliar growth promoters such as liquid kelp.
