The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa (2015, background): “With 92 foliar application, Zn is absorbed by the leaf epidermis, remobilized and transferred to the grain 93 through the phloem (Fernández and Eichert 2009; White and Broadley 2011).”
Foliar heavy metal uptake, toxicity and detoxification in plants: A comparison of foliar and root metal uptake. (2017, unknown): “The potential of plant foliar parts to absorb nutrients, water and metals was documented about three hundred years ago [90].”
Nano-fertilizers and Their Smart Delivery System (2015, background): “Various other studies reported that nanoparticles could enter through stomata or the base of trichome in leaf (Eichert et al. 2008; Fernández and Eichert 2009; Uzu et al. 2010).”
Understanding and managing nitrogen nutrition in grapevine: a review (2021, background): “Over the past decade, scientific progress has improved knowledge of plant response to foliar fertilisation, resulting in an increase of this practice in agriculture (Fernández and Eichert, 2009; Fernández and Brown, 2013).”
