The easiest and most effective way that plants take up nutrients is through roots; however, nutrients in the soil can be positionally unavailable, deficient, or tied up. When that happens, foliar applications of some nutrients can be beneficial, but not all nutrients and not all the time.
To delve further into foliar feeding, this episode of The Agronomists features Jarrett Chambers of ATP Ag and Dale Cowan of AGRIS Co-op. Up for discussion: boron, zinc, manganese, and even potassium.
