ProloNg 20-4-20+Te is a quality NPK fertiliser which will slowly release over a 4-6 month period. Allowing the plant to draw on available nitrogen over a longer period of time is far more efficient and reduces the amount of nitrogen lost to the atmosphere. The slow-release nature of ProloNg 20-4-20+Te also reduces the sudden surge of top growth usually associated with high nitrogen products; instead of rapid growth, the effects of this fertiliser will be manageable and still leave your lawn looking healthy and lush.
ProloNg 20-4-20 contains three vital macronutrients- nitrogen, phosphate and potassium. Each of these macronutrients has its own benefits; nitrogen aids with photosynthesis, phosphate helps plants convert other nutrients into usable building blocks with which to grow, and potassium regulates CO2 uptake during photosynthesis.
If you require a product which doesn't release for quite as long, consider 46-0-0 Slow Release.
Understanding Fertiliser Analysis:
- Under the metric system the unit of measurement is a kg.
- Recommendations are given in kg/ha.
- A fertiliser with the analysis 20-4-20+1.5Mg contains: 20% nitrogen, 4% phosphate, 20% potassium, 1.5% magnesium.
- So in a 20kg bag: 20% of the 20kg is nitrogen i.e. 5kg N, 4% of the 20kg is phosphate i.e. 0.8kg P, 20% of the 20kg is potassium i.e. 4kg K, 1.5% of the 20kg is magnesium i.e. 0.3kg.
