How to Select the Best Fertilizer for Your Lawn
Just like people and animals, grass and plants require nutrients to grow. Most grass and plants do not naturally produce enough of the nutrients they need to thrive, which can result in browning, wilting, and fewer blooms. Fortunately, fertilizers can give foliage a boost of vitamins and minerals through nutrients to increase the health of the plant.Healthy lawns are better equipped to resist disease, weeds, and pests which is why it is so important to increase the nutrients in turf and soil.और पढ़ें -
Plant fertilizer numbers – what NPK ratios mean and why they are important
Drew is a former professional gardener who specialized in growing vegetables and fruit. He worked in kitchen gardens for the National Trust in the UK for several years and then ran a productive walled garden growing vegetables, fruit, herbs, microgreens, and flowers for chefs. He has used a wide range of fertilizers over the years, always making sure he is choosing the right one to target the specific needs of his varied plants and vegetable crops.और पढ़ें -
Fertilizer Numbers - What Is NPK
Typically, there are three numbers on a fertilizer label separated by dashes, representing the percentage of N, P and K. What is NPK in fertilizer? Those three numbers correlate with the value of the three macro-nutrients used by plants: These macro-nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), or NPK for short. Understanding the meaning of NPK will help you make the right decision for your plants.और पढ़ें -
What Are N-P-K Ratios?
The IFA 4Plus Lawn Care program is locally formulated and specifically designed to help produce the best results in the Intermountain West. With two of our four applications, we also use Omnicote Technology that allows micronutrients such as Zinc, Iron, and Manganese to coat every pellet of fertilizer and thus getting an even nutrient distribution on the lawn. These elements may not require the quantity of the three major elements, but they are just as important.और पढ़ें -
Fertilizer labels N-P-K
Trips to the local garden center can be a bit overwhelming when trying to decide what fertilizer is best for your home vegetable garden.With a bit of knowledge about the fruits and vegetables you’re planning to grow and understanding what your goals are for your garden, these tips from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horticulture expert Lisa Whittlesey can help you make the best plan for your home garden.Knowing which vegetables you want to grow and what nutritional requirements those vegetables have is key to picking out the fertilizer best suited for your garden.Plants require light from the sun, moisture from rainfall or irrigation, and nutrients from fertilizers, compost or manure. An adequate amount of all three will help get your garden off to a good start.और पढ़ें -
How to Choose the Right Fertilizer
The labels of all commercial fertilizers contain three numbers separated by hyphens, such as 2-1-1 or 14-14-14 or 4-8-3. These are “N-P-K” indicators for Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium, which is represented by the letter K. These are the elements most required in quantity for plant growth and health. The numbers represent the percentage of each element the fertilizer makes available to plants. For example, a fertilizer labeled 5-5-5 contains 5% available* nitrogen, which helps plants create rapid growth, 5% available* phosphorus, which stimulates flowering and fruiting, and 5% available* potassium, which is needed for root and stem growth. (*available means that the element is in a form a plant can readily absorb.)और पढ़ें -
A Crash Course in Fertilizers: NPK Ratios, Synthetic vs. Organic, and More
Fertilizer sections at nurseries, garden centers, and supply stores dazzle the gardener. The shelves are piled with boxes and bottles, the floors covered with bags stacked high. Labels identify the package contents as organic compost, rose food or vegetable food, lawn fertilizer or general-purpose fertilizer. In some stores, you’ll find bins filled with bone meal, blood meal, or hoof-and-horn meal―all labeled natural fertilizer. Choosing the right products to keep your plantsऔर पढ़ें -
Fertilizer Labels: What N-P-K Numbers Mean
All fertilizer products must provide some uniform information to help consumers compare products easily. Every label carries three conspicuous numbers, usually right above or below the product name. These three numbers form what is called the fertilizer's N-P-K ratio — the proportion of three plant nutrients in order: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).The product's N-P-K numbers reflect each nutrient's percentage by weight. For example, the label on a 12-pound bag of Pennington Ultragreen Lawn Fertilizer 30-0-4 reveals that it contains 30 percent nitrogen, 0 percent phosphorus and 4 percent potassium, in addition to its other beneficial ingredients. This comes in handy when soil test results recommend pounds of actual nitrogen rather than specific fertilizers. By multiplying 12 pounds by .30, you'll see that this 12-pound bag contains slightly more than 3.6 pounds of actual nitrogen.और पढ़ें -
