These fertilizers have more than the basic nutrients. They have chelated trace elements, herbicide adjuvants, and a full line of nutrients as well. This is a company that has listened to the input of growers and farmers to produce the products their customers need and want.
In fact farmers have been using Foliar fertilizers since the 1950s and today they remain extremely popular. So what makes Foliar different and how does it work?
Back in 1953 the US Atomic Energy Department issued a grant to the Michigan State University to study the foliar absorption of fertilizer nutrients and trace the movement through the plants.
The benefits of foliar were documented and it was shown the reason was the increase in cellular based chlorophyll synthesis. The study also documented the need for potash, phosphate, water, and other nutrients. Small amounts of fertilizer increased the uptake increasing photosynthesis.
The results of these studies were used by Foliar to start to design a product that increased chlorophyll production and photosynthesis in the leaves of the plants. In as little as 4 hours the uptake can be measured. Their fertilizer is 10 times more effective then many other comparable products on the market and today they continue to do research to increase the benefits of their products.
Their product line is full and complete and includes the following three basics:
9-4-6-0This is a general purpose foliar fertilizer that contains 9% Nitrogen, 4% Phosphorus and 6% Potassium
16-2-3-0This is a foliar fertilizer containing 16% Nitrogen, 2% Phosphorus and 3% Potassium.
18-0-0-7This is a Nitrogen fertilizer with sulfur containing 18% Nitrogen, and 7% sulfur.
Foliar product line is much more complex than just these basics. They have a product for every soil type and every crops needs. Choosing the right fertilizer begins with knowing what it is you need. This may require you to have your soil tested. In fact it's a great place to start!
Foliar fertilizers are usually in liquid form and the most basic products are used by gardeners around the world. They use seaweed combined with animal manure that is suspended in water until the good nutrients are extracted. This process is time consuming and worth all the effort. Just ask the gardeners who use these products.
Modern Foliar fertilizers are concentrated and use technical processes to ensure the right mix of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and other nutrients are combined and available in a completely soluble form. There are a total of 16 elements in any one of the Foliar products.
Whether you are a home gardener that spends a great deal of time growing beautiful flowers or you are a farmer that depends on good crops for their livelihood Foliar fertilizer is the only fertilizer worth considering. Don't believe me? Why not try it for yourself?
