I use urea mate but only as a drench only. If you also use tko the urea mate has copper so this could cause a problem if foliar.

We were watering each pumpkin with 40-55 gallons twice a day via drip tape (T tape). We mixed the 2 TBLS of ureamate in a 18 gallon Rubbermaid tub and a Mazzei Venturi injector to inject the solution into the water being supplied to the plants. So 2 TBLS were being diluted by at least 45 gallons of water...pretty weak, yet heavier by nearly 7 times than we have previously used.

I will state that we started with 1 tsp per watering (for 4 plants) and increased slowly over a period of about 3 weeks until we felt that we were at the best growth. During the 66 lbs a day period of the 1312, the injector was only on for half the watering period for that plant, but after it started declining we brought it slowly back into the full cycle through the end of the year.
