Lehtväetist
Lehtväetist (foliar fertilizer) is a plant nutrition product applied directly to leaves to supply nutrients through foliar uptake. It is used to correct nutrient deficiencies and to supplement soil-based fertilization, particularly for micronutrients or when rapid nutrient responses are needed.
Formulations typically contain macronutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), together with micronutrients
Uptake occurs through the leaf cuticle and stomata. Foliar absorption can be rapid, providing a quick nutrient
Application guidelines typically call for spraying to achieve thorough coverage of both sides of the leaves,
Advantages include rapid correction of deficiencies, reduced nutrient leaching, and the ability to supplement soil fertility
Lehtväetist is widely used in horticulture and field crops, with adoption varying by region and crop. Always
