Rules of Thumb for Proper Fertilizer Use
 

  
  Fertilizers provide nutrients necessary for plant health and growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium These are what N, P, and K stand for on bags of fertilizer. Nitrogen (N) is needed for healthy green growth and regulation of other nutrients. Phosphorus (P) helps proper roots and seeds develop and resist disease. Potassium (K) is also important in root development and disease resistance. *When properly applied, the nutrients in fertilizers are absorbed by plants and little of these nutrients enters ground or surface water resources.
 		  
 

Use the Right Fertilizer
 

  
  •


•
•		  Test your soil to find out what nutrients are needed. Contact your local Natural Resources Conservation Service or Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service office to get information on obtaining a soil test. Local fertilizer dealers can also be helpful.
A soil test will help you understand what your plants require.
Follow label directions.		  
  Choose a fertilizer that has at least one-fourth of the nitrogen in a slow-release form, such as sulpher-coated urea.
 		  
  *Vitae-Myte is an excellent source of 74 trace minerals which will ensure a proper nutrient presence. In major University study's this soil additive has been shown to be a good source of a significant amount of minerals. These trace and essential minerals are bio-incorporated into the plant's system, creating more nutritious vegetables and fruit.
