How To

How to apply foliar fertilisers

Foliar fertilizers are applied to plants directly by 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 for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.

Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for 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 will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.

  • Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery if you don’t know what product you need.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep pets and children away
  • Use a hose attachment if available. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
  • 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 the fertilizer at least five feet from any trunk. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
  • Wait until the sun goes down before applying. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
