How To
How to apply foliar fertilisers
Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves by spraying. Foliar fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to plants. They also help to increase photosynthesis and water retention, resist disease, protect against pests and promote growth. They can be used to treat all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.
Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required. Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.
-
Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. If you aren't sure what product you need, ask your local gardening center.

Be sure to follow the directions. Before spraying, be sure to read and understand the label. Spraying near doors and windows can cause damage. Keep pets and children away
