Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, or NPK, are the primary nutrients in fertilizers. Each of these fundamental nutrients plays a key role in plant nutrition.
Nitrogen is considered to be the most important nutrient, and plants absorb more nitrogen than any other element. Nitrogen is essential in making sure plants are healthy as they develop and nutritious to eat after they’re harvested. That’s because nitrogen is essential in the formation of protein, and protein makes up much of the tissues of most living things.
The second, phosphorus, is linked to a plant’s ability to use and store energy, including the process of photosynthesis. It’s also needed to help plants grow and develop normally. Phosphorus enables root growth and flower production. Roots enable water and food uptake into a plant.
Potassium is the third key nutrient of fertilizers. It helps strengthen plants’ cell walls and abilities to resist disease and plays an important role in increasing overall quality. Potassium also protects the plant when the weather is cold or dry, strengthening its root system and preventing wilt.
While most fertilizers are built with 2 oxygens on a carbon, they will release as a gas, CO2. You visually see ineffective fertilizers applied, but they will wash through the soil and dissipate into the air, so the feeding getting into a plant is minimized. Most other fertilizers attempt to feed the plant.
Built as a polymer with 2 hydrogens on a carbon, our nitrogen is mostly water insoluble and non-volatile. What this means to a plant is a constant, stable food source that does not leach off or through a soil profile. Our fertilizer will not release as a gas. Beneficial microscopic soil bacteria ingests the carbon in our nitrogen as a food source and releases an organic waste product, including our nitrogen. Our product also has a low salt index so dehydration is less likely at the appropriate rate.
Plants provided with a low but constant food source have healthier, harder, leafier growth. More leaf means more capturing of sunlight for chlorophyll production, an essential for root growth. Root growth provides the carbohydrates plants need for healthy growth. Our approach is we feed the soil, where roots get their food source. Slower growing plants are more compact, are less leggy, but have more roots, because low constant nitrogen feeding calls on the root system to spend itself minimally. Your plants will have a stronger healthier more fibrous root system. We feed the soil.
The nitrogen component is 75% urea formaldehyde, which will enable the nitrogen, a food source for plants, to release through microscopic soil bacteria over a period of 1 1/2 to 6 months or longer. When applied 2 to 3 times per year, overlapping feeding occurs giving plants of all types continuous long term, continuous feeding. Only a portion of our product is water soluble, for a quicker response.
Due to a low salt index there is a low risk of burning of plants.

Supporting Micronutrients
Micronutrients play a supporting role in overall plant health and development. Micronutrients promote essential plant health and growth. Micronutrients may sound less important, but they’re not. Without them the full potential for plant growth cannot be obtained.
These micronutrients are:
Chlorine (Cl)
Copper (Cu)
Iron (Fe)
Manganese (Mn)
Zinc (Zn)
