How To

How to apply foliar fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants by spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of 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 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 contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. If you are unsure which product you require, ask your local nursery or garden center.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Before applying, please read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep away from children and pets
  • If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. Turn off the nozzle after each few sprays to avoid excessive spraying.
  • 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 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.
  • Apply only after the sun has set. Sunlight causes the fertilizer's light-sensitive chemicals to become inactive.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly among the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
