Which fertilizer is best for my vegetable plants?

With so many fertilizers available on the market, how do you know which fertilizer is best for your plants and vegetables? The right type of fertilizer and applying the right amount will depend on the soil and the type of plants / vegetables you are growing. As vegetable plants grow, they go through an intensive growing process that strips the required nutrients from the soil they are growing in. This is why it is essential to replenish these nutrients as required, to ensure the optimal growth and yield from your vegetable plants or other crops.

• On light soils, where conventional fertilizers are easily leached
• In rainy areas, when rainfall accelerates nutrient leaching
• Wherever nitrogen application is limited, e.g. by environmental regulations
• For crops with a shallow root system
• For crops with high nutritional requirements
• In cases where mid-season application is not feasible (e.g. when the crop covers the soil surface, in mulched crops and in muddy fields)
