How To

How to apply fertilizers to the folium

Foliar fertilizers are applied to plants directly by spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.

Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:

  • Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Read the label before application. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.
  • Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing two types of fertilizers can lead to harmful side effects such as leaf burning and staining.
  • Spray at least five to six 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.
  • Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. Sunlight causes the fertilizer's light-sensitive chemicals to become inactive.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly over the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
