1、The Effect of Foliar Fertilization on the Yield and Quality of Different Crops
To avoid these complications, preventive foliar fertilization can be useful, specially for varieties with a high potential of yield and quality, and in climatically suboptimal years.
2、Copper
Following soil fertilization, foliar fertilizer is an effective practice for the application of some micronutrients. Microelements as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are universally added to foliar fertilizers in order to compensate their deficiency (Kaya et al., 2005).
3、Absorption of foliar
Using synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy for in situ analyses of hydrated leaves, we found that upon foliar application of ZnSO 4, Zn accumulated within 15 min in some non-glandular trichomes in soybean, but not in tomato.
Synergistic effects of Fe nanocomplex and nitrophenolate
This study examines the dose-dependent synergistic effect of foliar-sprayed iron nanocomplex (Fe NC; 0%, 0.2%, 0.4% w/v) and the nitrophenolate biostimulant Atonik (0, 125, 250 ppm) on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seedlings under controlled greenhouse conditions. This novel approach integrates nanotechnology and green biostimulants to enhance plant growth and physiological performance ...
Foliar Fertilization of Crop Plants: Journal of Plant Nutrition: Vol 32 , No 6
Soil applications of fertilizers are mainly done on the basis of soil tests, whereas foliar nutrient applications are mainly done on the basis of visual foliar symptoms or plant tissue tests. Hence, correct diagnosis of nutrient deficiency is fundamental for successful foliar fertilization.
Nanotechnology promotes the R&D of new
This review presents the current efforts of chemical engineers and nanomaterial scientists to solve the problems by taking the advantages of nanotechnology and designing and developing new-generation long-term foliar micronutrient fertilizers.
COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT FOLIAR
Foliar fertilization is a rapid, efficient way to improve crop nutrient status during periods of high nutrient demand or when soil conditions (low tempera-ture, salinity, pH) render soil nutrients and soil-applied fertilizers less available to the plant’s roots.

Foliar Fertilization for Sustainable Crop Production
Here I review the extensive work that has been carried out on the effectiveness of foliar-applied nutrients, the mechanisms of foliar absorption, and transport.
EFFECT OF FOLIAR FERTILIZERS ON PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF POTATO
The experiment with three commercial foliar fertilizers (EPSO Microtop, Drin, Megagreen) and control treatment (without foliar fertilizer) was arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications.
Foliar fertilizers for elongation and enlargement are sprayed onto plant leaves to enhance growth, increase yields, and improve crop quality. Their primary function is to provide essential nutrients, aiding plants in absorbing soil nutrients and stimulating development. Below are common types of such fertilizers:
-
Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KH₂PO₄) This widely used fertilizer contains phosphorus and potassium. Phosphorus promotes root development and flower bud differentiation, while potassium enhances stress resistance, disease tolerance, photosynthesis, and protein synthesis. It is frequently applied to boost crop yield and quality.
-
Borax (Boric Acid) A boron-based fertilizer, boron is critical for cell division, stem elongation, disease resistance, cold tolerance, and pollen tube formation. Borax improves crop resilience and productivity.
-
Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO₄) Zinc, a trace element, supports cell division, disease and pest resistance, and pollen viability. Zinc sulfate is used to enhance growth and yield.
-
Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO₄) Magnesium aids cell division, stress tolerance, disease resistance, and pollen tube development. This fertilizer strengthens plant health and productivity.
-
Copper Sulfate (CuSO₄) Copper promotes cell division, disease and pest resistance, and pollen tube formation. It is employed to improve crop robustness and output.
-
Amino Acid Complex A blend of amino acids (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid) provides essential nutrients, enhancing photosynthesis, respiration, and metabolism. It supports overall plant development and yield.
-
Seaweed Extract A natural fertilizer rich in minerals, vitamins, and organic acids, seaweed extract supplies nutrients, stimulates growth, and improves stress resistance due to its antioxidative and antimicrobial properties.
-
Humic Acid Humic acid, rich in organic matter, offers nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium while improving soil structure, water retention, and aeration. It fosters healthy plant growth and higher yields.
Foliar fertilizers for elongation and enlargement vary in composition and mechanisms. Selecting the right product depends on specific plant needs and growth stages to ensure optimal nutrient absorption and maximal growth benefits.
