Foliar feeding is an effective method for correcting soil deficiencies and overcoming the soil’s inability to transfer nutrients to the plant. Tests have shown that Foliar feeding canbe 8 to 10 times more effective than soil feeding and up to 90 percent of a foliar fed nutrient solution can be found in the smallest root of a plant within 60 minutes of application.

The effectiveness of foliar applied nutrients is determined by (1) The condition of the leaf surface, in particular the waxy cuticle. The cuticle is only partially permeable to water and dissolved nutrients and, as a result, it can limit nutrient uptake. (2) The length of time the nutrient remains dissolved in the solution on the leaf's surface. (3) Diffusion, the movement of elements from a high concentration to a low concentration. For diffusion to occur, the nutrient must dissolve, and (4) The type of formulation. Water-soluble formulations generally work better for foliar applications as they are more easily absorbed when compared to insoluble solutions.

We offer all natural liquid products that provide unique advantages over conventional fertilizers. Our products are soluble in water, non-precipitating at pH 1.0 to 14.0 and can be used alone or in conjunction with chemical inputs in any Standard Crop Management Program. In addition, they are environmentally safe and are not harmful to animals, plants and humans.
