On the topic of adding water to AACT to achieve a rate of 5 gal per acre
applied as foliar tea, Elaine Ingham said:

If you have organism numbers too low, you won't get coverage. If you dilute
inappropriately, you won't get coverage.

QUESTION: What happens if you use the tea straight for foliar coverage with
a very low amount of hydrolysate for food/activation (say a teaspoon per 5
gallons or less)? Does this compensate for tea in which the numbers are not
optimal? Are there problems or considerations for this approach? Cost is
not a significant factor, since in small applications I don't brew less than
15 gallons anyhow.

I will post my question on drenches separately.
