How to apply foliar fertilisers
Foliar fertilizers are applied to plants directly by spraying. In addition to providing nutrients to the plant, they help increase photosynthesis, improve water retention, prevent disease, increase resistance against pests, promote growth and development, and provide protection from weather conditions. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.
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 will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.
