Nice. The graph appears to show rapidly diminishing advantages to concentrations beyond 10%.

May I suggest looking at the Zuch study I posted above...the rates they examined range from 5-50%. This graph probably says it all---

IMHO, Raw Milk is the best--and for foliar spraying I would use "skim" or "non-fat" variety. For soil/microbe feeding I found that higher fat variety...aka "whole raw milk" is better.
Cheers!
Nice chart.
I have read that study before, But I believe highly in "less is more"
when it comes to anything NATURAL.
I believe in the balance of the microbes both on leaves
and in soil.
There is JUST AS MANY on the leaves as there are in the soil,
im including fungus as well.
When I foliar spray i literally DRENCH my plants, so the
run off is via the DRIP TIPS of the plant, aka replicating RAIN
more or less....and the drip zone is the most active nutrient zone
of any plant.
YOu know though, after that study(i read one regarding Cucumbers
more so then zuchinis, but they are pretty much the same food for PM and other pests, so nough said lol) I was comfy with throwing in few more tablespoons to the gallon.
funny how so many people used to think spraying your plants with milk was CRAZY.... stubborn people i tell ya lol
Mind you I add the milk to a gallon of COMPOST TEA
that might have SOMETHING to do with why I have success
with such a low concentration
I would be interested in seeing data showing that the microbial population on leaves is as dense as in the soil.
I'd also like to see data concerning the effects on microbial activity before and after adding milk to ACT. Is it added at the beginning of the brew or the end?
