How To

How to apply Foliar Fertilizers

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.

When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required.

  • Wait until the sun goes down before applying. Sunlight causes light sensitive chemicals in fertilizer, to breakdown.
  • Spread the fertilizer evenly among the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
  • Let the fertilizer dry completely before watering.
