How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants by spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. 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, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This allows them faster to absorb the 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 contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. If you aren't sure what product you need, ask your local gardening center.
  • Pay attention to the instructions. Before applying, please read the label. Spraying near windows and doors can cause damage to the structure. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • Use a hose attachment if available. To prevent overspray, you should turn off the nozzle between sprays.
  • Mixing different types foliar fertilizers can be dangerous. Mixing two kinds of fertilizers can lead, among other things, to burning or staining your leaves.
  • Spray at least five to six 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. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly over the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
  • Allow the fertilizer time to dry completely before watering.
