Why is the time of day important to the TwinN application?
Early morning is the best time to spray TwinN. Open stomata, dew on the leaves and sugars carried upwards through transpiration and on the leaf surface all help inoculation. Low damaging UV light and evaporation levels give the microbes time to gain a foothold. Like any disease, TwinN microbes thrive in warm, humid conditions that aid multiplication and movement. Hot, dry, midday sun and wind (drift and evaporation) dry the leaf surface quickly, close stomata and hinder inoculation. The next best time to spray is late evening targeting the night dew for CFU survival and inoculation at stomata opening the next morning.
