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. You can use them to treat all kinds of plants: fruits, vegetables; flowers; trees; shrubs; grasses; lawns.

Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the type of plant, its size, and how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows the plants to absorb the nutrients more quickly. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.

  • Be sure to determine the right type of fertilizer for you. Some products only have one nutrient while others contain multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Before you spray, make sure to read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.
  • Mixing different types is a dangerous thing. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
  • Spray at least five feet from the 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.
  • Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. Sunlight causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly across the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
