How To

How to apply fertilizers to the folium

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. Foliar fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to plants. They also help to increase photosynthesis and water retention, resist disease, protect against pests and promote growth. You can use them to treat all kinds of plants: fruits, vegetables; flowers; trees; shrubs; grasses; lawns.

Foliar fertilizers can be applied without soil contamination. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.

  • It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products only contain one element, while others may include multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
  • Be sure to follow the directions. Before applying, please read the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep away from children, pets.
  • If you have a hose attachment, use it. To prevent overspray, you should turn off the nozzle between 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.
  • Apply only after the sun has set. Sunlight causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
