How To
How to apply foliar fertilisers
Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves by spraying. In addition to providing nutrients to the plant, they help increase photosynthesis, improve water retention, prevent disease, increase resistance against pests, promote growth and development, and provide protection from weather conditions. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.
When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.
