How To

How to apply fertilizers to the folium

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 on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.

Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

  • You should know which type of fertilizer you require. Some products only contain one nutrient, while others have multiple elements. Ask your local nursery if you don’t know what product you need.
  • Follow the directions carefully. Read the label before application. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. To avoid spraying too much, turn off nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types can lead to dangerous results. Mixing different types can result in harmful effects like burning or staining leaves.
  • Spray at least five to six 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 causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
  • Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
