How To

How to apply fertilizers to the folium

Foliar fertilizers are applied to plants directly by spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used to treat all plants, including fruits, vegetables and flowers as well as trees, shrubs, lawns, and grasses.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. 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 more time to absorb nutrients. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.

  • You should know which type of fertilizer you require. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include 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 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 can lead to dangerous results. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
  • Spray at least five feet away from the trunk. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
  • Wait until the sun sets before applying fertilizer. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly among the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
