The workshop seeks a) to provide the science framework for using foliar nutrition in vegetable and fruit crops and b) to discuss the applied conditions for its implementation. On the first objective, the physiological and environmental aspects of foliar nutrient application, absorption, and assimilation will be discussed over a broad range of crops, with especial emphasis on vegetables and fruit trees. On the second objective, the practical application of diverse molecules and fertilizer sources, application techniques, deficiency monitoring and correction, and limitations of the technologies will be presented.
