1 Foliar Fertilization is the most efficient way to increase yield and plant health.Plants take in nutrients more efficiently through stomata (plant pores) in their leaves than they do through root uptake. Tests have shown that foliar feeding can increases yields from 12% to 25% when compared to conventional fertilization.
2 Foliar feeding is an effective method for correcting soil deficiencies and overcoming the soil s inability to transfer nutrients to the plant under low moisture conditions.When fertilizers are foliar applied, more that 90% of the fertilizer is utilized by the plant. When a similar amount is applied to the soil, only 10 percent of it is utilized.In the sandy loam, foliar applied fertilizers are up to 20 times more effective when compared to soil applied fertilizers.
