Dilute in warm water and mix in with foliar feeding or with water barrel and compost teas

Mix 1 oz per gallon of water. It might help to warm it first. Spray it on everything a couple times a week to keep bacteria levels up. This is supposed to also raise the brix levels of the targeted plants which may increase disease & insect resistance.

Don't spray on foiliar use ground application only. Anyone familiar with agro k knows that molasses creates a film on the leaves and clogs the pores of the leaf making it unable to breathe.

I agree, I only go with molasses in the soil, 4 weeks and 2 weeks prior to planting, whole patch, feed them microbes......then once a week around the stump at 1oz per gal, that may change this year with the aerobic compost tea taking its place.

You can take it one step further by using your expensive molasses to make compost tea. A few oz of molasses in a five gallon bucket, a handul of well-rotted compost as a starter in a mesh bag. A source for areation. And 24 hours later you have 5 gals of trillions of beneficial microbes with which to innoculate your soil. You can use this as a folar or soil surface treatment.
