I agree This doesn't "need" anything. I just had it and wanted to see what happened. It's going right in with the water, not foliarly. All root feeding. The first ones to finish were the Baby Boom autos. Both came out frosty and beautiful. The Appleberries and all the ones in the 4 x 4 tent are being treated like this for this run. It's a run for science in my garden. Emilya had great success doing something like this and I thought I'd give it a try.I am not aware of any published studies that support the notion the cultivar would not intake nutrients utilizing both root and foliar sources. In fact, it is more the other way around. The application of foliar nutrients in addition to normal fertigations has been repeatedly studied and found to support increased yields in most all food crops. Even organic crops are treated the same way. They amend the soil before planting, then at different intervals they will spray. You should watch these crop dusters playing top gun with the plants. The pilots must have huge kahonna's.
I would agree with tepinator that it will not harm your plants, but I don't think you would need it normally.
I do have the question of, how does the plant feed full time using its microbe ways and still feed on the terpinator? I can't understand why it doesn't compromise the natural microbe feeding. So far it seems like it doesn't hinder things.
