Default Peach leaf curl - copper or sulfur to treat?

"J. Clarke" expounded:

Since you seem to object to the term "foliar feeding", what
nomenclature would you prefer be used for the process of supplying
trace elements by direct application to the leaves of certain plants?
Or is the basis of your obection that you feel that the observed
results of that procedure are simply a fluke that would have occurred
anyway independently of such application?


John, this guy is impossible to talk with, he's got his own very firm
definitions for all things in the plant world and will cling to those
definitions til the cow comes home, all the while telling the rest of
us that we don't use the proper terms when discussing fertilizer,
growth, nutrients, N-P-K, etc. If you look back over his posting
history you'll see what I mean.
