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 to treat all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.

Foliar fertilizers are safe for the soil and do not cause any soil contamination. The type of plant, how large it is, and the amount of foliage it has all affect the amount of fertilizer that is required. Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:

  • Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. 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. Read the label before application. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use a hose attachment. Turn off the nozzle after each few sprays to avoid excessive spraying.
  • Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing two kinds of fertilizers can lead, among other things, to burning or staining your leaves.
  • Spray at least five ft 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.
  • Apply only after the sun has set. Sunlight causes the fertilizer's light-sensitive chemicals to become inactive.
  • Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
