How to apply fertilizers to the folium

Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants by spraying. In addition to providing nutrients to the plant, they help increase photosynthesis, improve water retention, prevent disease, increase resistance against pests, promote growth and development, and provide protection from weather conditions. You can use them to treat all kinds of plants: fruits, vegetables; flowers; trees; shrubs; grasses; lawns.

Foliar fertilizers can be applied without soil contamination. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows the plants to absorb the nutrients more quickly. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.

  • It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products only contain one nutrient, while others have multiple elements. If you aren't sure what product you need, ask your local gardening center.
  • Be sure to follow the directions. Before spraying, read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Use a hose attachment if available. Turn off the nozzle after each few sprays to avoid excessive spraying.
  • Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing two kinds of fertilizers can lead, among other things, to burning or staining your leaves.
  • Spray the fertilizer at least five feet from any 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 sets before applying fertilizer. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly across the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
