While reading the article on calcium based foliar spray/fertilizer (link below) I wonder why one of the easiest method (Tums extra strength tablets - 750-1000mg calcium carbonate), or even simple milk, was not mentioned in the post. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/calcium-fertilizer.htm
These are mentioned in our other articles.

combatting banana peppers that turn brown. Also the peppers turn red or Orange while still very small.
Nitrate nitrogens are composed of nitrates, where ammonia rich nitrogen sources are rich in ammonia. Both are sources of nitrogen, and most fertilizers contain both as ammonium nitrate.
With plants such as blueberries, it is important to distinguish among the types of nitrogen, since blueberries cannot handle nitrates. In this case, ammonium sulfate will provide nitrogen in the form of ammonia, rather than nitrates.
Most, cheap, fertilizeres are going to feature ammonium nitrate. Thus, may not be suitable for some plants.

Most MiracleGro is very high in nitrogen. Anything labeled as a Bloom Formula, or Bloom Booster, or anything labeled for flowering. This will contain low nitrogen. These nutrients will contain phosphorus and potassium as the main components.
What types of nutirients does this type of fertilizer contain? Does it also have nitrogen components?
This could be used as a light fertilizer, as it does contain a decent amount of nitrogen. It will not be complete, but it can be added to a fertilization routine. This study will help you to understand the chemical breakdown of an avocado seed:
How many times a week should watering eucalyptus and put fertilisers. Thanks
Yes, this means adding liquid fertilizer to your water. With trees, a liquid should be fed once per month, or once every few months. Trees do not feed as fast as herbaceous plants will.
The spots appear as orange rust which subsequently develop holes. I have removed leaves as the spots appear but it spreads to other parts of the plant. Thank you for any advice you can give me. Sue
The symbol for phosphorus is "P". It will be the middle number in the NPK value.
Unfortunately, your photo did not come through, and the type of plant wasn't mentioned. This will make it difficult to diagnose any issues, as many plants will exhibit symptoms, differently.
In the meantime, these articles will help you to understand NPK values and phosphorous deficiencies:

I have had Ming tree for 7 years now. Never fertilized and try to keep on dry side.
Is it a ming aralia (Polyscias fruticosa)? They need moist soil but if yours has done well for 7 years with dry soil I wouldn't change now. You can use that fertilizer but cut it in half. Then don't fertilize again till next spring and continue monthly through fall with the 1/2 strength.
