How to apply Foliar Fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used to treat any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.
Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.
