🌿 Foliar vs Root Fertilization: Two Pathways, One Goal

 🌿 Foliar vs Root Fertilization: Two Pathways, One Goal

Plants can take up nutrients through both leaves and roots, but each pathway serves a different purpose.

Root fertilization supplies nutrients through the soil or growing medium and supports the crop’s ongoing nutritional needs. Foliar fertilization applies nutrients directly to leaves and can help address a specific nutrient need during crop growth.

Foliar sprays complement a sound root nutrition programme; they cannot replace the full nutrient supply a crop needs. The right choice depends on the crop stage, nutrient requirement, soil conditions and product instructions.

Healthy crops begin with balanced nutrition—above and below the ground.
