that must be applied to the soil to achieve the same yield ( PureGro Co., n.d. ). The cost of foliar fertilization is frequently associated with application cost. However, by properly timing the application of foliar fertilizers to key stages of crop

, micronutrients are involved in the metabolism by way of precursors from both the shikimate and the acetate-malonate pathways ( Crozier et al., 2000 ; Urquiaga, and Leighton, 2000 ). In this study, the indirect effect of micronutrient foliar application on

specific foods that may accumulate high concentrations of Se from natural soil Se deposits ( Finley, 2007 ). Foliar applications of Se to crop plants may eliminate soil matrix interferences and provide a more efficient mechanism to fortify crops with Se

⋅kg –1 , but P n showed no significant increase when foliar Zn concentrations exceeded ≈22 mg⋅kg –1 , indicating that P n is not Zn limited beyond this point. Foliar application of Zn is a common practice to alleviate Zn deficiency. However, managing

applications of a plant growth regulator would provide a low-labor, low-cost method to suppress flowering. Foliar applications of commercially formulated gibberellin (GA 3 ) are now a common industry practice in tart cherry production to prevent precocious

appears to be highly mobile in some tree species ( Picchioni et al., 1995 ). Thus, timely application of foliar B may potentially influence cell wall elasticity of fruit tissues. Other potential nutritional factors affecting WSFS include the essential

; Peppi et al., 2007 ). To our knowledge, there are no published reports on the effect of exogenous ABA on inducing dormancy of grapevines. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of foliar application of ABA on grapevine dormancy. Our
