How to apply foliar fertilisers

Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves 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. They can be used to treat any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.

Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.

  • Be sure to follow the directions. Before applying, please read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • Use a hose attachment if available. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.

  • Apply only after the sun has set. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly over the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
  • Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
