How To

How to apply foliar fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants 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 any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.

Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

  • Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products only contain one nutrient, while others have multiple elements. If you are unsure which product you require, ask your local nursery or garden center.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near doors and windows can cause damage. Keep away from children, pets.
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. Turn off the nozzle after each few sprays to avoid excessive spraying.
  • Mixing different types can lead to dangerous results. Mixing two different kinds can cause some harmful effects, such as burning or staining of leaves.
  • Spray at least five to six 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.
  • Wait until the sun is down before applying. Sunlight causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
