I have just become aware of this product and have done a fair bit of reading on the subject. I was still wondering; will the application of co2 foliar help the plant through times of heat stress/wilting? I have alot of trouble with heat/humidity here in Australia. I currently use misters and have tried shade but will try anything that helps. any help and opinions are appreciated.

The product was used by a few growers last year and will undergo more widespread use here in the states this year. The product was introduced to do exactly as you describe as well as improve the photosynthetic process. Since your season is over, I would suggest staying abreast of the topic here on BP.com, as I'm sure many growers will be reporting their experiences with the product.

Thanks giantpumpkindude for clarifying that, I just wasnt 100% sure on the heat stress part. You are right our pumpkin season is over, however, I grow alot of tender annuals/ other cucurbits in greenhouses commercially and have found plenty of good information on BigPumkins.com that helps with other plant growing. I did not realise that this product was so new and look forward to hearing of peoples expieriences with it.
