How To
How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. They provide nutrients for the plant as well as improving photosynthesis, water retention, disease resistance, protection against pests, and promote growth and development. They can be used to treat any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.
Foliar fertilizers are safe for the soil and do not cause any soil contamination. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the type of plant, its size, and how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.
