I only see 2 posts, did amelio post 3 times?

If your pH goes up those Low micronutrients may be an issue. You might add a little gypsum to add sulpher. it will add calcium, too. It is hard to have too much calcium.
I don't see a nitrogen number or a nitrate nitrogen value either.

Manganese and Copper are both available in a sulphate. I just had to add these to mine. Manganese did me in last year...looks just like a virus

copper sulphate is a good fungicide, too.

5+5 pounds of sulphate in 25- 40 gallons water sounds too much for me for a foliar application . better using a formulated foliar Mn-Fertilizer. Leaf damage and game is over.

I know that your mixture of 5+5 lbs in 25 gal produces damage on apple or cherry leaves, especially not full matured ones. I would not dare to spray that on a young AG plant. Please show me my "hate post" and where you described a formulated Mn-Fertilizer.
