Organic Fertilizer contains:
-55+ trace minerals
-amino acids
-humic acid
-kelp
-mycorrhizae
-NPK 6,5,5
Nutrients are essential for plant health, growth and development. The 3 essential macronutrients for plant life include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. They are represented by the letters “NPK.” The numbers “6,5,5” shown above represent the amount of each of these 3 nutrients in the fertilizer we use.
N-Nitrogen
Promotes leafy green growth and plays a crucial role in phototsynthesis
P-Phosphorus
Essential for root development and fruit/flower production
K-Potassium
Regulates the uptake of water/nutrients and activates vital enzymes
Minerals provide essential nutrients for plants and contribute to soil structure and nutrient retention.
Trace Minerals are minerals that provide micronutrients for plants. Micronutrients are nutrients required in small amounts that also contribute to essential functions of growth and development.
Mycorrhizae is a root like fungus that grows beneath the soil and has a symbiotic association with plants that occurs at the roots. Mycorrhizae allows more available nutrients to be absorbed by attaching to roots and spreading from them. This provides the plants with more water and nutrients. Mycorrhizae allow plants to communicate with each other and exchange nutrients and stress signals. The mychorhizae achieves this by daisy chaining a group of individual plants at the roots creating one larger network.
Microbes boost pathogen immunity in plants, convert organic matter to food storages for plants, and vastly increase the soils ability to retain water/ nutrients which contributes to drought tolerance. Microbes affect soil structure and ultimately the root structure in plants.
Kelp produces an organic growth hormone that promotes cell division. This has significant affects on root and shoot growth. It also affects plants general health and photosynthesis capability.
Amino Acids are essential for plant life because they produce proteins and growth hormones. Cells are comprised of proteins which are structurally significant. Amino acids also transport nitrogen from the soil to the roots and the rest of the plant.
