Foliar feeding, in which nutrients are administered directly to the foliage of plants, employs specialized fertilizers. Foliar fertilization can effectively supply nutrients to crops during critical growth stages or periods of nutrient deficiency. Specialty foliar fertilizers are formulated to ensure rapid nutrient absorption and translocation within the plant, promoting quick correction of nutrient deficiencies and enhancing overall crop health and productivity. In hydroponic systems and greenhouse production, it is essential for providing plants with nutrients without soil. These fertilizers are often water-soluble and formulated to meet the precise nutrient requirements of hydroponically grown crops, ensuring optimal growth, yield, and quality.
It includes organic and natural alternatives to synthetic fertilizers, catering to the growing demand for organic and sustainable agricultural practices. These fertilizers are derived from organic sources like compost, manure, and bio-based materials, providing nutrients in a form that is readily available to plants while improving soil health and fertility. A growing emphasis on sustainability in agriculture leads to increased demand for specialty fertilizers that minimize environmental impact. This includes products with controlled-release formulations, organic ingredients, and those designed to reduce nutrient runoff.
