Abstract
Foliar fertilization is widely used in agriculture and complements soil application to supply nutrients to the plant. In order to ensure efficient foliar fertilization, it is important to understand foliar ion uptake. For this, we must know leaf anatomical aspects, active and passive absorption processes, the external and internal factors affecting nutrient entry in the plant, and the general aspects of foliar spraying.
