Abstract：To investigate the effects of foliar fertilizers on the growth,development,and yield of vegetable,two types of foliar fertilizers,namely high-potassium water-soluble fertilizer with macro-elements(foliar fertilizer A)and mineral-de-rived humic acid water-soluble fertilizer(foliar fertilizer B),were selected for foliar application trials on celery,zucchini,tomato,and cauliflower,which are the main vegetable types cultivated in Zhangye city.The results indicated that both foli-ar fertilizers can promote the growth and development of vegetable and increase their yields,and the effects of alternating and mixing applications are superior to those of single applications.For leafy vegetable,the best results were achieved by applying foliar fertilizer A first,followed by foliar fertilizer B after 15 days.For fruit and melon vegetable,the optimal ap-plication was foliar fertilizer B first,followed by foliar fertilizer A after 15 days.It is recommended to use these two foliar fertilizers in an alternating or mixed manner in production based on different vegetable types.
