Thank you for this excellent suggestion. You are correct regarding the leaf colour as I do have an alkaline soil problem as the measured pH is around 8 in about half the plantation. This does affect nitrogen and other fertilizer intake. We are now compensating with folear feeding. I am attempting to get my hands on large volumes of granular sulphur for a long-term pH correction. I am still however still looking for a technique to speed up the variety's growth rate.
