How To
How to apply foliar fertilisers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. You can use them to treat all kinds of plants: fruits, vegetables; flowers; trees; shrubs; grasses; lawns.
Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
Be sure to understand what type of fertilizer is needed. 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. Read the label before application. Do not spray near windows or doors because this could cause damage to the building. Keep away from children and pets
-
If possible, use a hose attachment. To prevent overspray, you should turn off the nozzle between sprays.
-
Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. 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.
-
Apply only after the sun has set. Sunlight causes the fertilizer's light-sensitive chemicals to become inactive.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly among the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
-
Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
