How to apply fertilizers to the folium
Foliar fertilizers may be applied to the leaves of plants by spraying. They are used to add nutrients to plants. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.
Foliar fertilizers do not pose a risk for soil pollution. The type of plant, how large it is, and the amount of foliage it has all affect the amount of fertilizer that is required. Foliar fertilizers are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.

It is important to know the type of fertilizer that you need. Some products only have one nutrient while others contain multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
