The goal of this study is to inform people about organic foliar fertilizers. Foliar fertilizers is a natural chemical that is applied directly to the leaves of plants to boost their health and fertility. For speedier outcomes, the plant absorbs the required nutrients straight through its leaves. Applying fertilizer directly to the leaves improves leaf activity, which directly influences the plant's water intake, and promotes root development. As a result, foliar fertilizers can expedite nitrogen uptake from the soil, which is beneficial for plants with nutritional shortages that require prompt intervention. In one container, we combine all of the elements that we utilized, which are water, fish, fish scum, eggs, long beans, rotten fruit (spinach, papaya, banana, and pumpkin), effective microorganism, Yakult, fresh milk, brown sugar, and yeast. After combining all of the components, we seal the container and leave it at room temperature. All of these problems may be avoided with organic foliar fertilization, and application to the plant's leaf guarantees that nutrients are absorbed instantly by the plant (BMS micronutrient). As fertilizer costs grow, organic foliar is a very effective and ecologically responsible approach to solving high-cost production in the agriculture business.
