If you’re dealing with potassium or iron deficiencies, it might be time for you to familiarize yourself with foliar sprays.
Foliar sprays can be a great way to get a fast response to a nutrient deficiency. Most sprays are as simple as mixing about 1 tsp/gallon of a chloride (calcium chloride for calcium deficiency, for example) and applying it as a spray.
Since you are applying a salt, it’s important that you keep sprays to a low volume and spray at dusk so that you do not harm sensitive vegetation.
