Foliar Fertilization (Summary)
Foliar Fertilization (Summary)
Foliar
fertilization (or foliar feeding) entails the application—via
spraying—of nutrients to plant leaves and stems and their
absorption at those sites. It is a viable (though somewhat controversial)
means of enhancing crop nutrition. Foliar fertilization is a
tool used in both conventional and alternative production systems.
This publication covers the basics of foliar feeding, discusses
formulation of foliar sprays, and addresses component fertilizers
for foliar fertilization.
