How To
How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves by spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.
Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. 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 have one nutrient while others contain multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
-
Carefully follow the instructions. Before spraying, be sure to read and understand the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
-
Use a hose attachment if available. To prevent overspray, you should turn off the nozzle between sprays.
-
Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
-
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.
-
Wait until the sun sets before applying fertilizer. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly over the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
-
Allow the fertilizer to dry completely before watering.
