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 any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.

Foliar fertilizers can be applied without soil contamination. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. These steps will help you fertilize your garden.

  • You should know which type of fertilizer you require. 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.
  • Follow the directions carefully. Before applying, please read the label. Do not spray near windows or doors because this could cause damage to the building. Keep pets and children away
  • If you have a hose attachment, use it. To prevent overspray, you should turn off the nozzle between sprays.
  • Mixing different types is a dangerous thing. Mixing different types can result in harmful effects like burning or staining 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.
  • Wait until the sun is down before applying. 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.
  • Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
