fertilisation foliaire

OBS: «Fertilisation foliaire» est le terme le plus employé au Canada tandis que «fumure foliaire» est employé davantage en Europe.

CONT: Fertilizers are materials containing plant nutrients that are added to the environment around a plant. Generally, they are added to the water or soil, but some can be sprayed on leaves. This method is called foliar fertilization. It should be done carefully with a dilute solution, because a high fertilizer concentration can injure leaf cells. The nutrient, however, does need to pass through the thin layer of wax (cutin) on the leaf surface.
