Bonide’s Nitrate of Soda reacts quickly in the soil
to rapidly provide plants with Nitrogen.
Nitrogen, one of the three major plant nutrients,
stimulates early spring growth, deep green color,
and stem and leaf growth. Deficiencies of
Nitrogen can result in stunted plant growth.

How to read a fertilizer label.

Fertilizers are rated by three numbers, such as 15-0-

0. The numbers tell what percentage of primary
nutrients the fertilizer contains. The first number is
the percentage of Nitrogen; the second number is
the percentage Available Phosphate (P

2O5

); the

third number is the percentage of soluble Potash

O).

(K

2

When purchasing fertilizer, keep in mind that
typically the first number, or 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.
