How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through 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 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 are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:

  • Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery or gardening center if you don't know which product you need.
  • Pay attention to the instructions. Before applying, please read the label. Do not spray near windows or doors because this could cause damage to the building. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. To prevent overspray, you should turn off the nozzle between sprays.
  • Mixing different types foliar fertilizers can be dangerous. Mixing two different kinds can cause some harmful effects, such as burning or staining of leaves.
  • Spray at least five feet away 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 goes down before applying. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.
  • Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
  • Allow the fertilizer time to dry completely before watering.
