Foliar spraying is the process of spraying (using a spray gun attached to a tank) a liquid (such as a herbicide or fertilizer) onto the leaves of plants (such as grasses, trees, shrubs, or flowers).
Foliar is Latin, meaning "of or relating to a leaf or leaves".
This feeding typically is comprised of macro- and micronutrients beneficial for your trees, shrubs and turf.
Dormant Spraying: Several hundred of the 624,000 insect species that scientists are able to identify may be classed as enemies of shade trees, ornamentals and turf.
FoliarSpraying: Pressure spraying with chemicals is recognized by authorities as one of the most effective ways to combat leaf diseased and the many defoliating and sucking insects that mutilate and destroy foliage on trees, ornamentals and turf.
Foliar feeding, provides nutrients through the foliage of the plant which has the ability to absorb and translocate certain minerals within plant tissues and this is a technique which growers can use in many situations.
Spraying early in the morning, while it is light, but temperatures are still cool, or in the evening is best and conditions that allow the leaf to dry rather than stay wet for an extended length of time is also important to consider.
Foliar feeding can by carried out on a regular, weekly basis, or can be limited to the times when the crop comes under high nutrient demand such as early fruit set and heavy fruit loading.
