How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves by spraying. Foliar fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to plants. They also help to increase photosynthesis and water retention, resist disease, protect against pests and promote growth. They can be used to treat any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.
When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers are best used while the plant is still actively growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.
