How to apply foliar fertilizers

Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. 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 faster to absorb the nutrients. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.

  • It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
  • Pay attention to the instructions. Before spraying, read the label. Do not spray near windows or doors because this could cause damage to the building. Keep away from children, pets.
  • If possible, use a hose attachment. Turn off the nozzle after each few sprays to avoid excessive spraying.
  • Mixing different types is a dangerous thing. Mixing two different kinds can cause some harmful effects, such as burning or staining of leaves.
  • Spray the fertilizer at least five feet from any 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 is down before applying. 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.
