Usage of foliar mode of application to avoid deficiencies and reduce stress drives demand

Foliar fertilizer technology is a one-of-a-kind, dynamic, and efficient crop nutrition method. Foliar feeding is an excellent solution when the plant root system is not functioning properly or when nutrition from the soil is failing. When root uptake is hampered by factors such as cold or warm soils, high soil pH, high weed competition, or nematode infestation, this type of feeding is ideal. Foliar fertilizers are also ideal for preventive measures to avoid deficiencies and reduce stress.

Water-soluble fertilizers have been introduced exclusively for foliar feeding and fertilization. This application technique helps increase nutrient supply during the early growth stages when the roots are not well-developed. This method of applying liquid specialty fertilizers on crops, such as corn and soybean, has helped overcome possible limitations in crop nutrient uptake and increase the yield and efficiency of the nutrients used. The foliar mode of application is widely used to apply micronutrients, particularly iron and manganese. It is mostly used for many fruits, vegetables, and flower crops. Micronutrients can be foliar applied as liquid or suspensions to crops. Soluble inorganic salts of micronutrients are effective in foliar spray and lower in cost than synthetic chelates. For many horticultural crops, foliar application is preferred for correcting iron chlorosis. Foliar nutrient application can also correct occasional nutrient deficiencies or ensure that the plant’s nutrient needs are ‘topped up’ during critical stages of growth when soil nutrient supply is insufficient or during stressful periods such as heat or drought.

The ease of application of liquid specialty fertilizers is driving the market during the forecasted period

Liquid specialty fertilizers include micronutrient, slow-release, water-soluble, and other liquid fertilizers. These are simple to handle and apply. Pumps are used for movement, and they usually require less labor to handle. Liquid fertilizers contain one or more plant nutrients that are readily available. They have better tolerance limits for adverse conditions. To keep fertilizer particles from settling, suspension agents such as colloidal clay material are typically used. Suspension fertilizers are not meant to be stored for an extended period. True solution fertilizers can be stored if the temperature stays above freezing but salting out may be an issue in cold weather.

Liquid fertilizers can be applied either on the ground or on the leaves. They can also be broadcast and applied as a band at planting. When applied foliar, plant nutrients are absorbed through the leaves and are more readily available for plant use than when applied ground. However, the availability of foliar-applied nutrients is transient and does not last throughout the growing season. Foliar applications can help to correct mid-season deficiencies or supplement nutrients applied to the soil. According to Michigan State University, liquid fertilizer use in Michigan has steadily increased over the last 50 years. They accounted for roughly half of the market in 2018 because of their ease of handling and application. A custom blend and greater uniformity in application rate can be achieved with liquids.
