How to apply fertilizers to the folium

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. 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 to follow when fertilizing your garden.

  • You should know which type of fertilizer you require. 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.
  • Please read the instructions carefully. Before spraying, be sure to read and understand the label. Spraying near windows and doors can cause damage to the structure. Keep pets and children away
  • If possible, use the hose attachment. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
  • Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing different types can result in harmful effects like burning or staining leaves.
  • Spray at least five to six feet 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.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
