Impact of Foliar Supplementation of Nitrogenous Fertilizer on Yield

Foliar application of nitrogenous fertilizers has become a key factor in improving nitrogen use efficiency, boosting crop yields, and reducing farming costs. Liquid fertilizers are essential for precise nutrient management, ensuring crops receive the necessary nutrients throughout their growth cycle, thereby enhancing yield potential.

Increased yield of direct seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) by foliar

It is concluded that five foliar applications of balanced amounts of fertilizers at the seedling stage (two sprays), tillering (single spray) and at panicle initiation and panicle differentiation (two sprays) helped in enhancing yield and yield components of rice.

Foliar application with iron as a vital factor of wheat crop growth

Increased yield through intensive agriculture with high yielding crop varieties, use of NPK fertilizers, and limited use of manures along with restricted recycling of plant residues are some important factors which have to accelerate exhaustion of soil micronutrients.

Experiments, Uptake Mechanisms, and Functioning of Silicon Foliar

In the present review, the effects of Si foliar fertilization, including nano-Si fertilizers, on the three most important crops on a global scale, that is, maize, rice, and wheat, are summarized.

Wheat and rice, as globally critical food crops, play a vital role in ensuring global food security. Foliar spraying technology, recognized for its rapid, efficient, and eco-friendly characteristics, is widely employed in wheat and rice production to promote growth, development, and yield enhancement. Among various foliar fertilizers, those containing specific ingredients often deliver superior results. Below are common foliar fertilizers with key components and their mechanisms of action:

I. Nitrogen Fertilizers

1. Function: Nitrogen is a primary nutrient essential for leaf growth and photosynthesis. Proper nitrogen application stimulates tillering and leaf expansion, enhances stress resistance, and boosts yields in wheat and rice.
2. Components: Urea, ammonium nitrate, and other nitrogen-rich compounds directly supply plants with nitrogen, supporting photosynthesis and nutrient synthesis.
3. Application: Apply on sunny days, diluting the fertilizer before spraying onto leaves. Avoid contact with stems to prevent scorching.

II. Phosphorus Fertilizers

1. Function: Phosphorus is integral to enzyme systems, root development, and flower bud differentiation. It strengthens root systems and disease resistance in wheat and rice.
2. Components: Potassium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium sulfate, and similar compounds provide phosphorus to promote healthy root and stem growth.
3. Application: Mix with water and spray evenly on leaves. Avoid overapplication to prevent leaf damage.

III. Potassium Fertilizers

1. Function: Potassium enhances cold and drought tolerance, protein synthesis, and pest/disease resistance. It also facilitates sugar transport and conversion, improving crop quality.
2. Components: Potassium sulfate, potassium chloride, and other potassium-based fertilizers regulate water balance and nutrient metabolism.
3. Application: Dilute and spray uniformly on leaves. Excessive use may cause leaf scorching.

IV. Micronutrients

1. Function: Microelements like iron, zinc, and copper participate in critical biochemical reactions, directly impacting growth and yield formation.
2. Components: Boron, manganese, molybdenum, and other micronutrient fertilizers address deficiencies and ensure balanced development.
3. Application: Select micronutrient formulations based on crop needs, diluting and spraying as directed.

V. Bio-Microbial Fertilizers

1. Function: These fertilizers, rich in beneficial microorganisms, improve soil structure, increase microbial diversity, and enhance soil fertility and water-retention capacity.
2. Components: Strains like Bacillus subtilis, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, and potassium-releasing bacteria decompose organic matter and release nutrients.
3. Application: Dilute before spraying on leaves. Avoid overuse to prevent leaf damage.

The selection of foliar fertilizers should align with the growth stage, nutritional requirements, and soil conditions of wheat and rice. Adhering to proper application methods and dosages ensures efficient nutrient uptake and healthy crop development.
