Fertilizer

In order for a plant to grow and thrive, it needs a number of important chemical elements. The three most important are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K). These three nutrients are normally displayed on each bag and are listed as a percentage. Each of these nutrients affects plant growth differently and Belmont Mills Inc. carries a wide variety of fertilizers to meet your specific needs. Nitrogen (N) provides the plant with the ability to produce chlorophyll which allows the plant to turn dark green and grow quickly. Phosphorus (P) aids in root development, allowing the plant to take in more moisture and nutrients. Potassium (K) helps guard the plant against disease and aids in drought protection and cold tolerance.
