Trace Elements to promote overall plant growth

 

Nitrogen

Promotes green leafy growth

Most likely to be deficient in garden soils

Inadequate nitrogen: Result in yellowing and dropping of older leaves, stunted growth

Excess nitrogen: Result in plants growing too fast and may become weak and spindly. May produce more leaves and stems than flowers, fruits or edible roots

 

Phosphorus

Promotes strong root growth, flowering and fruiting

Inadequate phosphorus: Result in dull green leaves with a purple tint, stunted growth and reduced yield

Excess phosphorus: Unlikely to harm your plants, but is a serious pollutant of water sources

 

Potassium

Regulates the synthesis of proteins and starches that make sturdy plants

Results in higher resistance to diseases, heat and cold

Inadequate potassium: Result in reduced flowering and fruiting, spotted or curled older leaves and weak stems and roots
