Frequently Asked Questions

When during propagation should this formula be applied?

It contains the traditional micronutrient levels needed for general production including propagation and all types of bedding plants, so it's built to support young, developing plants as well as established crops. That versatility across growth stages is part of why it's labeled a general purpose formula.

Why does high nitrate nitrogen matter here?

High nitrate nitrogen at 60% of the total nitrogen content supports green foliage and more compact growth, an effect nitrate-form nitrogen tends to produce compared to urea or ammonium forms. That compact growth habit is often preferred for bedding plants headed to retail.

Is this formula suited for all plant types?

The batch's own labeling states it's for use on all plants, positioning it as a broad general-purpose option for commercial production. Its compact-growth, high-nitrate profile makes it a common choice for propagation and bedding plant programs specifically.

Does this fertilizer contain urea?

No, this formula contains no urea, relying instead on nitrate nitrogen for its 60% share of total nitrogen. It's an acidic formula rated at 555 lbs. CCE, so growers should factor that into their pH management over time.
