How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used to treat all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.

  • You should know which type of fertilizer you require. Some products only have one nutrient while others contain multiple elements. If you aren't sure what product you need, ask your local gardening center.
  • Follow the directions carefully. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep away from children and pets
  • If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing two types of fertilizers can lead to harmful side effects such as leaf burning and staining.
  • Spray at least five ft from the trunk. A minimum of three feet should be left between the tree trunks and the edge of your area where you plan for fertilizer application.
  • Wait until the sun goes down before applying. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
  • Allow the fertilizer to dry completely before watering.
