How To
How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse 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 amount of fertilizer needed depends on the type of plant, its size, and how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This allows the plants to absorb the nutrients more quickly. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
Be sure to determine the right type of fertilizer for you. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. If you aren't sure what product you need, ask your local gardening center.
-
Please read the instructions carefully. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep away from 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.
-
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 at least five ft 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.
-
Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
-
Allow the fertilizer to dry completely before watering.
