Foliar Feeding Limited by LSU Extension Findings
LSU researchers report foliar fertilizer sprays offer little benefit for cotton. Soil applications of 48-48-48 or 24-48-48 plus nitrogen show comparable or superior results, with foliar nitrogen causing vegetative overgrowth and delayed maturity. Side dress remains an effective option up to six inches tall.
