How To
How to apply fertilizers to the folium
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through 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 for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.
When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of 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 work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
Be sure to determine the right type of fertilizer for you. Some products only contain one element, while others may include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery if you don’t know what product you need.
-
Follow the directions carefully. Before applying, please read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep pets and children away
-
If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. To prevent overspray, you should turn off the nozzle between sprays.
-
Mixing different types is a dangerous thing. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
-
Spray at least five feet from the trunk. A minimum of three feet should be left between the tree trunks and the edge of your area where you plan for fertilizer application.
-
Wait until the sun is 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.
