Why are Foliar Fertilizers Effective?

25 Oct 2012

Foliar fertilizing is an old fertilizing technique that applies the fertilizer directly to the leaves of plants.  It has been known for years that plants can absorb important essential elements through their leaves.  This type of fertilizing is extremely effective because when the fertilizer is applied through the leaves the fertilizers act on the plant faster and are absorbed quicker through the leaves then in other ways.  Once the nutrients are absorbed through the leaves they make their way into the root system and give plants a growth boost.  Sanco industries Liquid Harvest Crop Booster is one of these effective foliar fertilizers.

Liquid foliar fertilizer works when applied to the leaves of plants, as explained above.  The leaves of plants do not take in as large of quantities of nutrients through the leaves, but the uptake is more efficient through the leaves.  Once the foliar plant food is sprayed on the leaves it causes the metabolism of plants to speed up, resulting in the plants demanding more water and nutrients.  Foliar plant food is cost efficient and also easy to use as it usually replaces part of the water carrier in the chemical spray solution.

In today’s farming industry it is important to maintain the highest quality and quantity of crops.  Liquid foliar fertilizers can help that goal be achieved.  For any questions on liquid foliar fertilizers or any other product offered by Sanco please contact us today.
