Abstract
This invention relates to the foliar feeding of growing plants. Conventional foliar feed comprising plant nutrients dissolved in water have a very poor shelf life and chemically attack many container materials. To overcome this problem the practice is to mix the aqueous solution feed immediately before use. In practice it is necessary to mix more solution than is required and, particularly with small scale applications, there is always a waste of feed. The present invention overcomes this problem by providing an aerosol container charged with a foliar feed solution and a propellant, preferably forming a water in oil emulsion with the solution, and whereby the feed has a relatively long shelf life and can be dispensed in small quantities without wastage.
