How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants 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 to treat all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.
Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the type of plant, its size, and how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.
