How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants by 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 for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.

Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. These are the steps to follow 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.
  • Follow the directions carefully. Before spraying, read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep away from children, pets.
  • If you have a hose attachment, use it. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
  • Spray at least five ft from the trunk. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
  • Apply only after the sun has set. Sunlight causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly among the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Allow the fertilizer time to dry completely before watering.
