Description
17-17-17 Special fertiliser for fruits and vegetables is an even N-P-K feed formulated for horticulture, where the crop needs all three major nutrients working together rather than a nitrogen push. In fruit and vegetable production the balanced ratio suits the stretch from establishment through fruit set and fill: nitrogen for canopy, phosphorus for root and flower development, potassium for fruit size, firmness and quality. It is a general-purpose horticultural analysis rather than a stage-specific one – if a soil test shows one nutrient short, we will blend to correct it rather than sell you a balanced product that ignores the result. Supplied in bulk, bulka bags or bagged, minimum 10 MT, delivered Australia-wide and shipped worldwide.
