How To

How to apply foliar fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves by spraying. Foliar fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to plants. They also help to increase photosynthesis and water retention, resist disease, protect against pests and promote growth. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.

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 should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:

  • You should know which type of fertilizer you require. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. If you aren't sure what product you need, ask your local gardening center.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Before spraying, read the label. Do not spray near windows or doors because this could cause damage to the building. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use a hose attachment. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing two kinds of fertilizers can lead, among other things, to burning or staining your leaves.
  • Spray at least five feet from the trunk. You should leave at least three feet between the tree trunk and the edge of the area where you plan 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 on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Allow the fertilizer time to dry completely before watering.
