Abstract
Possible advantages of foliar application of nutrients–in efficiency, speed, cheapness, and effect on crop quality–-have attracted attention for many years. Progress has been most rapid for fruit and plantation crops, especially in the last decade; but the promise of foliar application of nutrients and the risk of injury to the foliage may be appraised only by the study of individual crops, as is done in the present review.
