How To
How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via 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.
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. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.
-
You should know which type of fertilizer you require. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery or gardening center if you don't know which product you need.
-
Please read the instructions carefully. Before applying, please read the label. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep away from children, pets.
-
If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. To avoid spraying too much, turn off nozzle after every 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. It is important to leave at least three foot between the tree trunks, and the edge of any area you intend to apply the fertilizer.
-
Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. Sunlight causes light-sensitive chemicals in the fertilizer to break down.
-
Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
-
Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
