How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. Foliar fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to plants. They also help to increase photosynthesis and water retention, resist disease, protect against pests and promote growth. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

  • Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. If you are unsure which product you require, ask your local nursery or garden center.
  • Please read the instructions carefully. Before you spray, make sure to read the label. Spraying near windows and doors can cause damage to the structure. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.
  • Mixing different types can lead to dangerous results. Mixing two different kinds can cause some harmful effects, such as burning or staining of leaves.
  • Spray at least five feet from the trunk. A minimum of three feet should be left between the tree trunks and the edge of your area where you plan for fertilizer application.
  • Apply only after the sun has set. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly across the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
  • Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
