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.
