Detailed explanation-1: -These three numbers represent the primary nutrients (nitrogen(N)-phosphorus(P)-potassium(K)). This label, known as the fertilizer grade, is a national standard. A bag of 10-10-10 fertilizer contains 10 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphate and 10 percent potash.
Detailed explanation-2: -Though plants use many different nutrients to fuel their growth, these three are used in the largest amounts. For example, a bag of fertilizer with the fertilizer numbers 10-5-10 on the label, holds 10% N, 5% P, and 10% K. The remaining 75% of the bag’s weight is carrier product.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first number is nitrogen, the second is phosphorous, and the third is potassium. The numbers tell you the percentage of that nutrient in the bag. So, quiz time! If you have a 5-10-5 bag of fertilizer that weighs 10 pounds then 5 percent or one-half pound of it is nitrogen.
Detailed explanation-4: -This Hyponex 40 lb. All-Purpose Fertilizer 10-10-10 is great for your vegetable garden, shrubs, trees or flower beds. The fast-release formula feeds your plants for up to 2 weeks.
Detailed explanation-5: -SUNBurst 5-5-5 Fertilizer is an all-purpose nutritional fertilizer for the correction of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium deficiencies.
