WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN?
Fertilizers are rated by three numbers, such as 5-10-5. The
numbers tell what percentage of primary nutrients the fertilizer
contains. The first number is the percentage of Nitrogen (N);
the second number is the percentage of Available Phosphate
(P
2
O
5
); the third number is the percentage of soluble Potash
(K
2
O).
When purchasing and using fertilizer, keep in mind that
typically the first number (Nitrogen), emphasizes a green
color and denser foliage. The middle number (Available
Phosphate), emphasizes the development of flowers, fruits
or vegetables. And the third number (Soluble Potash),
emphasizes overall plant hardiness and its ability to withstand
stress.
