How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers are applied to plants directly 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.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required. Foliar fertilizers are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This allows the plants to absorb the nutrients more quickly. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.

  • Be sure to determine the right type of fertilizer for you. Some products only contain one nutrient, while others have multiple elements. If you are unsure which product you require, ask your local nursery or garden center.
  • Please read the instructions carefully. Before you spray, make sure to read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep away from children, pets.
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types is a dangerous thing. 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.
  • Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. 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.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
