How To

How to apply foliar fertilisers

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.

Foliar fertilizers are safe for the soil and do not cause any soil contamination. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows the plants to absorb the nutrients more quickly. These are the steps to follow when fertilizing your garden.

  • Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products only contain one nutrient, while others have multiple elements. Ask your local nursery if you don’t know what product you need.
  • Be sure to follow the directions. Before you spray, make sure to read the label. Spraying near windows and doors can cause damage to the structure. Keep away from children, pets.
  • Use a hose attachment if available. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.
  • Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing two kinds of fertilizers can lead, among other things, to burning or staining your leaves.
  • Spray the fertilizer at least five feet from any trunk. The trunk of the tree should be at least three feet from the edge of where you intend to apply fertilizer.
  • Wait until the sun goes down before applying. 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.
  • Allow the fertilizer to dry completely before watering.
