The most simple method of nutrient delivery is by mixing with the water to be used for watering the cultivar. However, there are other methods;
===Foliar Spray ===
Nutrients can be delivered to the plant when dissolved in water via a fine mist, this is the fastest route of administration. TheIt has been postulated that the size of the droplets appearshas toan beeffect on the limitingefficacy of foliar spray but some studies factorseem to efficacy[citation]contradict this<ref>Influence of Droplet Size of Foliar-Applied Nitrogen on Grain Protein Content of Hard Red Winter Wheat 2017 -https://acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.2134/cftm2016.10.0068</ref>. If possible the spray should be applied to the underside of leaves as this is where the most stomata reside. Lights should be turned off before foliar spraying to prevent the light lensing through droplets burning the leaf surface.
Foliar spray should not be used to provide emergency nutrients to the plant
