How To
How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. In addition to providing nutrients to the plant, they help increase photosynthesis, improve water retention, prevent disease, increase resistance against pests, promote growth and development, and provide protection from weather conditions. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.
Foliar fertilizers are safe for the soil and do not cause any soil contamination. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows the plants to absorb the nutrients more quickly. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
You should know which type of fertilizer you require. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery if you don’t know what product you need.
-
Please read the instructions carefully. Before you spray, make sure to read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep pets and children away
-
If you have a hose attachment, use it. To avoid spraying too much, turn off nozzle after every few sprays.
-
Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing different types can result in harmful effects like burning or staining leaves.
-
Spray at least five ft from the trunk. The trunk of the tree should be at least three feet from the edge of where you intend to apply fertilizer.
-
Wait until the sun sets before applying fertilizer. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly over the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
-
Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
