What is the difference between foliar fertilizer and plant growth regulators? We also ask knowledgeable readers to help explain.During a recent visit to rural areas, it was found that some farmers do not fully understand the functions of foliar fertilizers and plant growth regulators. Therefore, Zhongdi Web has compiled the differences between the effects of foliar fertilizers and plant growth regulators, listed below for readers' reference.
Effects of plant growth regulators:
Plant growth regulators are pesticides, agents that can control, promote or regulate plant growth and development. They are generally divided into growth-promoting, growth-inhibiting and other effects; there are strict requirements in application techniques, such as the period of use, dosage and method of use. They must be used according to the instructions, otherwise adverse consequences will occur.
The effects of plant growth regulators are generally obvious and stable, and are less affected by environmental conditions, so they are quickly promoted and applied and easily accepted by users. They are a class of organic compounds artificially synthesized with the activity of natural plant hormones.
Effects of foliar fertilizer:
Foliar fertilizer is also different from plant growth regulators. It is also called plant nutrient, plant compound liquid fertilizer, etc. It is a type of nutrient substance made by concentrating macro- or trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc, manganese, boron and copper together. It is mostly used for foliar spraying to supplement nutrients when crop roots absorb water and fertilizer poorly, thereby regulating plant growth, supplementing elements lacking in plants, preventing premature aging and increasing yield. Foliar fertilization can directly and quickly provide nutrients to crops, avoid nutrients being adsorbed and fixed by the soil, and improve fertilizer utilization.
However, in areas with high soil fertility and in areas or on crops that are not lacking these elements, its yield-increasing effect is not very obvious.
