How To

How to apply fertilizers to the folium

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through 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 for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. 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. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

  • 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.
  • Please read the instructions carefully. Before you spray, make sure to read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use a hose attachment. To avoid spraying too much, turn off nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types foliar fertilizers can be dangerous. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
  • 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 sets before applying fertilizer. 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.
  • Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
