Third, the amount of foliar fertilizer is small and the cost is low. Foliar fertilizer is sprayed directly on the foliar surface, which is more economical than root fertilizer.

Brief Introduction of Foliar Fertilizer

Disadvantages

One is cuticle thicker leaf absorption nutrient penetration rate is low, absorption quantity is little;

Second, foliar fertilization is easy to drip from the foliar, and the nutrients sprayed are easy to be lost by rain.

Third, the spray dried quickly on the leaves, affecting the absorption of plants.

Fourth, it is difficult to transfer nutrients such as calcium from the absorption site to other sites.

Fifth, the nutrients provided by foliar fertilizer can not meet all the needs of plant growth.

Sixth, improper use of foliar fertilizer is easy to cause burn of plant foliar

Seven is the foliar fertilizer effect time is short, needs to spray many times, takes time and effort.
