Aggrand Natural Organic Fertilizer enhances plant growth by providing important plant nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It is ideal for foliar applications.
Organic fertilizers supply the important plant nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K), which help lawns and plants create rich color and deep roots. In addition, N-P-K promotes vigorous growth, which improves disease and stress resistance.
Organically managed lawns cycle nutrients efficiently, which helps prevent a buildup of thatch -- an accumulation at the soil surface of dead, but un-decomposed, stems and leaves. Importantly, grass clippings do not contribute to thatch -- in fact, cycling grass clippings can annually provide a lawn with as much as two pounds of additional nitrogen per thousand square feet.
Some conventional, manufactured-chemical fertilizers supply nitrogen in the form of chemical salts. This form of manufactured-chemical nitrogen dissolves quickly to provide a rapid nitrogen release. Often, a quick nitrogen release can encourage weed growth. Lawn grasses respond to a nitrogen "spike" by producing excessive top growth in lieu of laying in stores of carbohydrates. Lawns with poor carbohydrate reserves often go dormant during drought or other stressful times.
