How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves 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.
Foliar fertilizers can be applied without soil contamination. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the type of plant, its size, and how much foliage it has.
