How many people are checking there PH level of there foliar feeding mix prior to application?

What is the ideal PH level for foliar feeding?

What are you using to check the PH level of your mix?

How critical is it to have the correct PH level to get the most effective nutrient uptake by the plant?

I am interesting on any input or opinions on this!

Thanks

Its pretty well accepted that spray water should be neutral to slightly acid pH, depending on what is being applied. Spray water is best to be treated prior to application. As far as "ideal", that really depends on what you are spraying. most insecticides and fungicides prefer a more acid pH of the spray water, say 5.5-6.
