How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. Foliar fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to plants. They also help to increase photosynthesis and water retention, resist disease, protect against pests and promote growth. You can use them to treat all kinds of plants: fruits, vegetables; flowers; trees; shrubs; grasses; lawns.
Foliar fertilizers are safe for the soil and do not cause any soil contamination. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. If you are unsure which product you require, ask your local nursery or garden center.
-
Carefully follow the instructions. Before you spray, make sure to read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
-
If you have a hose attachment, use it. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
-
Mixing different types can lead to dangerous results. 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. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
-
Wait until the sun goes down before applying. Sunlight causes light-sensitive chemicals in the fertilizer to break down.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly over the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
-
Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
