How To

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.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of 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 the plants to absorb the nutrients more quickly. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

  • Be sure to determine the right type of fertilizer for you. Some products only contain one element, while others may include multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
  • Follow the directions carefully. Read the label before application. Do not spray near windows or doors because this could cause damage to the building. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few 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. It is important to leave at least three foot between the tree trunks, and the edge of any area you intend to apply the fertilizer.
  • Apply only after the sun has set. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.
  • Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
  • Allow the fertilizer time to dry completely before watering.
