How Sure Start 4-6-2 (15 lb bag) fits a fertility plan
Provides phosphorus to support root development, flowering, seed formation, and fruiting when soil levels and crop demand justify an application.
Also supplies nitrogen for vegetative growth, so the complete N-P-K analysis should be included in the seasonal nutrient budget.
The package size and formulation shown in the title help match the product to planting holes, beds, containers, orchards, or larger areas as allowed by the label.
Application guidance: Phosphorus moves slowly in many soils and can accumulate when overapplied. Use soil-test results, place or incorporate only as directed, and account for phosphorus already supplied by compost and other fertilizers. Follow label rates for the specific crop and growth stage.
