How To

How to apply foliar fertilisers

Foliar fertilizers are applied to plants directly by spraying. They provide nutrients for the plant as well as improving photosynthesis, water retention, disease resistance, protection against pests, and promote growth and development. You can use them to treat all kinds of plants: fruits, vegetables; flowers; trees; shrubs; grasses; lawns.

Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers should only be used when the plant is active growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.

  • It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products only contain one nutrient, while others have multiple elements. If you are unsure which product you require, ask your local nursery or garden center.
  • Carefully follow the instructions. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near windows and doors can cause damage to the structure. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • If you have a hose attachment, use it. To avoid spraying too much, turn off nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
  • Spray at least five ft from the trunk. You should leave at least three feet between the tree trunk and the edge of the area where you plan to apply the fertilizer.
  • Wait until the sun sets before applying fertilizer. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
  • Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
