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 for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.

Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to 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 work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows the plants to absorb the nutrients more quickly. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.

  • It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery or gardening center if you don't know which product you need.
  • Pay attention to the instructions. Read the label before application. Do not spray near windows or doors because this could cause damage to the building. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
  • If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.
  • Mixing different types can lead to dangerous results. Mixing different types can result in harmful effects like burning or staining leaves.
  • Spray at least five feet from the trunk. The trunk of the tree should be at least three feet from the edge of where you intend to apply fertilizer.
  • Apply only after the sun has set. Sunlight causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly across the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
