How to apply fertilizers to the folium
Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants 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 all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.
Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the type of plant, its size, and 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. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.
