They provide nutrients for the plant as well as improving photosynthesis, water retention, disease resistance, protection against pests, and promote growth and development. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.
Foliar fertilizers are safe for the soil and do not cause any soil contamination. The fertilizer required depends on the type and size of the plant as well as how much foliage it has. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. These steps will help you fertilize your garden.
