How To

How to apply foliar fertilisers

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. They can be used to treat all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.

Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to 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. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:

  • It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products only contain one element, while others may include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery or gardening center if you don't know which product you need.
  • Follow the directions carefully. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near windows and doors can cause damage to the structure. Keep away from 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 types of fertilizers can lead to harmful side effects such as leaf burning and staining.
  • Spray at least five feet 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.
  • Wait until the sun sets before applying fertilizer. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly across the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
  • Allow the fertilizer time to dry completely before watering.
