How much N, P and K are in your bag of fertilizer? The analysis found on
each bag or bulk shipment of fertilizer tells the farmer or consumer the
amount of nutrients being supplied. States have a system of laws and
regulations that ensure the fertilizer is properly labeled and delivers the
amount of nutrients stated to the farmer or consumer.
The three numbers on your bag of fertilizer are referred to as the
"analysis." It is the percentage of nitrogen, phosphate and potash that is
available to plants from that bag of fertilizer. In this diagram, this product
contains 5 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphate and 5 percent potash.
So what's the other 80 percent of what's in this bag? While brands vary,
typically the rest will contain some micronutrients and filler material, which
allows for even application of the nutrients across the fertilized area.
