How To

How to apply foliar fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used to treat all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the type of plant, its size, and how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

  • Be sure to understand what type of fertilizer is needed. Some products only have one nutrient while others contain multiple elements. Ask your local nursery or gardening center if you don't know which product you need.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Read the label before application. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep away from children and pets
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. Turn off the nozzle after each few sprays to avoid excessive spraying.
  • Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing two kinds of fertilizers can lead, among other things, to burning or staining your leaves.
  • Spray the fertilizer at least five feet from any trunk. It is important to leave at least three foot between the tree trunks, and the edge of any area you intend to apply the fertilizer.
  • Wait until the sun sets before applying fertilizer. Sunlight causes light-sensitive chemicals in the fertilizer to break down.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly across the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
