How to apply foliar fertilizers

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.
Foliar fertilizers are safe for the soil and do not cause any soil contamination. The type of soil, the size and amount of foliage, as well as the type of plant will all determine the fertilizer required. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. These are the steps you should follow to fertilize your yard.
