I. Leafy vegetables:

II. Melon and fruit vegetables:
Such as cucumber, tomato, eggplant, chili pepper, kidney bean, yardlong bean, etc. Foliar spraying is mainly based on a mixed solution of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium or a multi-element compound fertilizer, such as 0.2%-0.3% monopotassium phosphate solution, 0.5% urea plus 2% superphosphate plus 0.3% potassium sulfate solution, 0.05% rare earth micro-fertilizer solution, etc.
III. Bulb vegetables, root vegetables and tuber vegetables:
Such as garlic, onion, radish, carrot, potato, etc. Foliar spraying is mainly based on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as 0.2% monopotassium phosphate solution, superphosphate and plant ash extract, etc.
