Foliar nutrients

This type of nutrient has certain advantages over other types of nutrients, which will be mentioned below. In addition, the general characteristics of this type of nutrient will also be reviewed. Finally, we will recommend some of the best foliar nutrients available at Experiencia Natural.

Characteristics of foliar nutrients

As mentioned above, foliar fertilizers are applied directly onto the leaves of a crop. It is a complementary fertilisation method, i.e. it must be applied in conjunction with another fertilization method in order to fulfil its fundamental role: to provide all the nutrients and trace elements necessary for indoor and outdoor crops.

In the case of seedlings, the first stage of the plant's life cycle, it is possible to apply foliar fertilization as the sole method of fertilisation, as the plant at this stage has all the energy it needs inside, and this type of foliar fertilisation can be used to stimulate the development of these seedlings.

When the plant reaches maturity, foliar fertilizers are necessary to supplement and cover certain needs of the crop. In this way, when the plant faces certain negative aspects for its development, such as the appearance of pests, sudden temperature changes, nutrient deficiencies, etc., it is possible that the use of foliar fertilisers can partially remedy these problems. 

One of the main advantages of using foliar fertilizers is that they serve to enhance certain aspects of the plant. They help to maintain a functional balance of nutrients in the plant, especially at times when crops require more care, by enhancing the vegetation of the plants. 

Foliar fertilisers also have an important insecticidal function. Thus, most foliar fertilisers are very useful against the establishment of pests in a crop. Also, many anti-pests are presented in foliar form to palliate insect pests that settle on the leaves, such as leafminers. 

Finally, foliar fertilisers can also help crops overcome stress situations, especially those caused by nutrient deficiencies or pest infestations.
