Lawn spraying, explained simply. Calculator

In our opinion, no lawn enthusiast can do without a sprayer. This tool is needed constantly, every few weeks. We recommend choosing a backpack sprayer (preferably a battery-powered one, but a mechanical one is also perfectly fine) - it will be a tool you'll enjoy working with. We recommend the tried-and-tested "Solo". Known for its quality, it is likely to serve reliably and for a long time, even with intensive use. Ergonomic design, easy operation, and comfortable handles. Ensures even spraying, which is critically important to avoid "burning" the lawn or achieving an uneven result. A wide selection of spare parts is available in Lithuania. You can find the most valued models in our assortment: https://tobulaveja.lt/purkstuvai
We usually spray:
1. Liquid fertilizers (can be NPK fertilizers, nitrogen-only fertilizers, iron, etc.). Unlike granules, which have to dissolve in the soil, liquid fertilizers affect plants through their leaves. And they act faster. Have you noticed a "patchy" lawn after fertilizing with granules? Where dark green color alternates with lighter? This happens shortly after fertilization due to sparsely dropped granules - where a granule dissolved, the lawn area absorbs nitrogen, and where it didn't drop, it's lacking. Spraying eliminates this. Foliar feeding of plants is an excellent supplementary measure alongside main granular fertilization. We most often use nitrogen fertilizers, iron chelate/glycinate (gives the lawn a "showy" dark green shade), sometimes separate micronutrient mixtures (Mg, Mn, Zn).
2. Biostimulants (lawn "vitamins"). These are agents that don't so much nourish as help the plant cope with stress itself:
amino acids (help the lawn "recover" after stress - drought, heat, intensive trampling);
seaweed (stimulates root growth and increases disease resistance);
