How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers are applied to plants directly by spraying. They provide nutrients for the plant as well as improving photosynthesis, water retention, disease resistance, protection against pests, and promote growth and development. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.

Foliar fertilizers can be applied without 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 more time to absorb nutrients. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.

  • It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery if you don’t know what product you need.
  • Be sure to follow the directions. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near windows and doors can cause damage to the structure. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use a hose attachment. To prevent overspray, you should turn off the nozzle between sprays.
  • Mixing different types foliar fertilizers can be dangerous. Mixing two kinds of fertilizers can lead, among other things, to burning or staining your leaves.
  • Spray the fertilizer at least five feet from any trunk. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
  • Wait until the sun is down before applying. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
