Question 1

Q: What are Organic Fertilizers?

A: Organic fertilizers are derived from natural sources and help to improve soil fertility and plant growth in a sustainable way.

Question 2

Q: Why choose organic fertilizer over a synthetic?

A: The main advantage of using organic fertilizer is that it helps build up soil health over time, rather than depleting it. This leads to stronger plants that are better able to withstand environmental stressors.

Question 3

Q: What are the requirements for the retail sign?

A: The law only restricts phosphorus in lawn fertilizer. Phosphites in fungicides are not restricted, but some may be. Compost and compost tea are not restricted. Manure products that are pelletized or oven-dried are not considered to be compost, and are not exempt. There are no specific disposal requirements in the new law for phosphorus lawn fertilizer.

Question 4

Q: How quality control is ensured for fertilizers?

A: The FCO has laid down fertilizer-wise detailed specifications and no fertilizer, not meeting the said specification, can be sold in the country for agricultural purposes.

Question 5

Q: How chemical fertilizers are different from bio-fertilizers?

A: Chemical fertilizers are manufactured artificially and primarily contain nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. Bio-fertilizers are plants or microorganisms that help crops to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere.

Question 6

Q: What form do fertilizers come in?

A: Organic fertilizers come in three forms: dry, water-soluble powder and liquid. Each form has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it is important to choose the right fertilizer for your needs.

Question 7

Q: How do I buy your products?

A: If you want to purchase our fertilizer in person, go to our Where To Buy page. If you want to carry our fertilizer lines in a store, go to our Dealer Inquiry page.

Question 8

Q: When do your fertilizers expire?

A: Dry fertilizer products without 'biology' will not expire if stored under the proper conditions. Dry fertilizer products with 'biology' carry a two year expiration date.

Question 9

Q: Why fertilize?

A: There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best type of fertilizer depends on the specific plant and the stage of growth. However, in general, liquid and soluble fertilizers are best for young plants, granular fertilizers are best for established plants, and foliar fertilizers are best for plants that are not growing well.

Question 10

Q: What should I fertilize my plants with and when?

A: There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Question 11

Q: When should I fertilize my landscape?

A: Different plants need different fertilizers depending on the pH of the soil.

Question 12

Q: When should I apply Gold Leaf as a foliar feed?

A: Use 1/8oz. per gallon of water, every two weeks, as a fine spray.

Question 13

Q: What does an EC meter measure?

A: The EC meter measures the concentration of the total soluble salts in a liquid. The measurement is expressed in EC (electrical conductivity) or TDS (total dissolved salts).

Question 14

Q: What measures an insertion EC-meter?

A: The fertometer is a simple EC-meter that measures the total salt concentration in the soil, and then immediately shows you if this is too low or too high, or if the salt content and thus the amount of nutrients is appropriate.

Question 15

Q: What are the major components of fertilizer?

A: The major components of fertilizer are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are represented by the letters N, P, and K. Fertilizer products will have a set of three numbers that indicate the content ratios of these nutrients.

Question 16

Q: What is NPK?

A: NPK is a macronutrient combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that is essential for plant growth.

Question 17

Q: How high is the EC of fertilizer?

A: It depends on the plant, how often water is given, how often you want to fertilize, and the growing temperature.

Question 18

Q: What is a fertilizer ?

A: A fertilizer is a chemical product containing one or more essential plant nutrients that are immediately or potentially available in sufficiently good amounts.

Question 19

Q: What is the procedure for taking action against units manufacturing sub- standard fertilizers?

A: The primary aim of the Fertilizer Control Order, 1985 is to regulate the manufacture and sale of fertilizers in India in order to ensure that only quality products are made available to farmers. The Order lays down specifications for various types of fertilizers and also provides for the registration of manufacturers and dealers. It also empowers the appropriate authority to suspend or cancel the registration/licence of any manufacturer or dealer who contravenes the provisions of the Order.

Question 20

Q: What is Fertilizer Control Order?

A: The Fertilizer (Control) Order, 1985 is an order issued by the Department of Agriculture Cooperation of the Government of India that establishes what substances can be used as fertilizers, product specifications, methods for sampling and analysis of fertilizers, procedures for obtaining licenses to manufacture or sell fertilizers, and conditions that must be met for trading in fertilizers.

Question 21

Q: What is meant by the term "balanced fertilization"?

A: The use of the right ratio of nutrients as per soil or crop requirement is known as "balanced fertilization.".

Question 22

Q: What even IS fertilizer, and how does it work?

A: Fertilizers help plants grow by filling in the gaps between what the plant needs and what the plant's environment provides.

Question 23

Q: What forms/types of aquarium fertilizer are there?

A: Fertilizing is a process of adding nutrients to the water column, typically using a liquid or dry fertilizer, to help the plants grow.

We'll go into more detail on each of these below, but first, let's talk about what nutrients are, and how they work.

The Three Types of Nutrients

There are three main types of nutrients: macronutrients, micronutrients, and carbon

Question 24

Q: What type of fertilizer is best?

A: The best fertilizer is the one that complements the water that you use and the media the orchid is growing in.

Question 25

Q: What is GROW made from?

A: Fertilizer made from chicken poo.

I’m trying to grow a little veggie garden, and I’ve been using Miracle-Gro products. I’ve been considering switching to something organic, and I’ve heard that chicken poo is a good fertilizer.

I’ve also heard that Miracle-Gro is not the best thing to use, and that it’s actually bad for plants.

Question 26

Q: What is the science behind GROW?

A: It’s an organic product that uses the natural process of decomposition to provide nutrients to plants.

Question 27

Q: What is Group Concession Scheme under New Pricing Scheme?

A: The Group Concession Scheme under NPS was introduced in 2003. Under this scheme, all units were classified into six groups based on vintage and the feedstock. For each group, weighted average group price was worked out excluding the outlier (RPS more than +/- 20% of group average). Each unit will get the concession rate based on the group average or the retention price, whichever is lower. Outlier units to get advantage of 50% of the difference between the RPS and

Question 28

Q: What is the Retention Price Scheme?

A: The Retention Price Scheme (RPS) for fertilizer Industry introduced from 1.11.1977 and remained in force till 31.3.2003. Under the RPS Retention Price was fixed for each unit by the Govt. The difference between the Retention Price of Urea and the maximum retail price of urea was paid as subsidy.

Question 29

Q: What is the difference between the Concession Scheme and Subsidy Scheme?

A: Urea is the only fertilizer whose pricing and distribution is controlled by the government, and the manufacturers/importers have to sell it at a certain price in order to be eligible for subsidy under the Concession Scheme.

Question 30

Q: What is the selling price of fertilizers?

A: Urea is the only fertilizer with a legally controlled price and movement. The Concession Scheme on the sale of phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilizers provides an indicative Maximum Retail Price at which these fertilizers are to be sold. The MRP for Single Super Phosphate under the Scheme is declared by the respective State/UT Government. These MRPs can be viewed on this site.

Question 31

Q: Why subsidy is not given directly to farmers?

A: The government is trying to make sure that farmers can buy affordable fertilizers, and it's not practical to just give them the subsidy directly.

Question 32

Q: Why Government is giving subsidy on fertilizers?

A: The government is giving farmers money to buy fertilizer.

Question 33

Q: Why are there no NPK readings on GROW labels?

A: GROW duplicates nature’s way of growing, which is more effective than relying on chemical fertilisers.

Question 34

Q: How long do granular fertilizers stay in the medium?

A: The persistence of granular fertilizers will vary depending on a number of factors, but they are generally short-lived in comparison to other fertilizer types.

Question 35

Q: How can I import and trade DAP and MOP in the country?

A: No restrictions on import of DAP/MOP.

Question 36

Q: How do I know how much fertilizer to dose, and how do I apply it?

A: The best time to fertilize is just before a plant's nutrient demands will be high. This can be when they are transplanted, during growth spurts, or when they are in bloom. How often and how much to fertilize depends on the form of fertilizer you're using and a slew of other factors, like how heavily your tank is planted, your plant species, your water chemistry, what your goals are, etc.

Question 37

Q: How do I mix FEED ME?

A: Mix 1 oz/gallon of FEED ME! liquid fertilizer in the fall/winter and 1.5 oz/gallon in the spring/summer. For granular fertilizer, use 3/4 teaspoon/gallon in the fall/winter and 1 teaspoon/gallon in the spring/summer for RO/Rain/Tap water, and 1/2 teaspoon/gallon in the fall/winter and 3/4 teaspoon/gallon in the spring/sum

Question 38

Q: How much fertilizer should be applied?

A: 1. Water your orchid until water runs out of the bottom of the pot.
2. Mix up a solution of fertilizer at about 125ppm Nitrogen and pour it over the orchid until it runs out of the bottom of the pot.

Question 39

Q: How do I best store GROW?

A: Store GROW in a cool, dark place in its original container with the lid on.

Question 40

Q: How are you combining calcium and sulfur without it forming calcium sulfate, and calcium and phosphorus from forming calcium phosphate?

A: Gold Leaf is the most advanced product on the market.

Question 41

Q: What do you do if you are using coco/coir or soil and you overdosed with the Gold Leaf?

A: You may have overdosed your plant on potassium. Try washing out the excess fertilizer with fresh water. If that doesn't work, try giving your plant a dose of cal/mag.

Question 42

Q: What is the best way to fertilize orchids?

A: Water orchids first. Use a solution of fertilizer and water 3 out of every 4 weeks of each month. Mix granular Well Water FEED ME! at 1/2 teaspoon/gallon in the fall/winter and 3/4 teaspoon/gallon in the spring/summer. Flush pots with ample water on the 4'th week and do not fertilize. This will leach out salts left behind in the media.

Question 43

Q: What is the best time of the day to apply GROW?

A: Apply GROW in the morning or afternoon for best results.

Question 44

Q: What is the best way to clean lines out?

A: If you have limescale, use a very diluted citric acid solution. If you have microbial buildup of biofilm, use either boiling water, peroxide or a chlorine rinse.

Question 45

Q: How can I take dealer license for trading in fertilizers?

A: The application for registration/license as an industrial dealer in fertilizers or dealer in fertilizers for agricultural sales, respectively, has to be made in Form A/ Al to the Controller of Fertilizers of the concerned State/UT along with the prescribed fee and certificate of source in Form O.

Question 46

Q: How can I select right combination and doses of fertilizer for any crop?

A: Contact your Area/Block Agriculture Officer.

Question 47

Q: How often can I apply GROW?

A: – GROW is a fertiliser that is completely safe to use. It is made from natural ingredients and can be applied all year round. It will provide significant benefits to your plants, however regular weekly applications produce best results.

Question 48

Q: Where can I buy GROW?

A: I'm wondering if it's possible to use a single USB cable to charge a laptop and connect it to an external monitor, at the same time. I have a 2018 Macbook Pro and I'm using a Dell U2518D as my external monitor. I've been using a USB-C to HDMI cable to connect the two, and I've been using a USB-C to USB-C cable to charge my laptop.

Tl;dr: I'm wondering if it

Question 49

Q: What rate should I apply GROW at?

A: GROW can be applied either to the soil or directly to the leaves of plants. For soil applications, the recommended rate is 10ml per litre of water. For foliar applications, the recommended rate is 90ml per watering can of water.

Question 50

Q: How often should I apply GROW?

A: Apply twice, one week apart. Then weekly or fortnightly applications, gradually scaling back to the normal rate.

Question 51

Q: What ways can I use GROW to get better results?

A: Activated charcoal can improve plant growth by providing nutrients, improving soil health, and reducing stress.

Question 52

Q: What about Bloom Booster formulas?

A: There is currently no scientific evidence to support the claim that bloom booster fertilizer is effective for orchids. However, the type of phosphorus in the authentic MSU formulas is a big part of what makes it so effective for orchids.

Question 53

Q: What benefits does Gold Leaf have over Veg Bloom and Shine?

A: Gold Leaf is the best product for your plants.

Question 54

Q: Why does my diluted Gold Leaf smells like ammonia?

A: Gold Leaf is perfectly safe to inhale.

Can you use gold leaf on your skin?

Can you put gold leaf on your nails?

Gold leaf is

Question 55

Q: How high should the concentration be in a pot?

A: The fertometer is a device that measures the electrical conductivity of your soil. It is a very accurate measurement for the amount of nutrients in your soil. The fertometer has a red light that turns on when your soil has too much nutrients and a yellow light that turns on when your soil has too little nutrients.

Question 56

Q: What is the nutritional value in seed compost?

A: The fertometer is a tool that helps you determine whether your soil is sufficiently nutritious for your plants. If the light is yellow, it means that the soil is low in nutrients and you should consider adding fertilizer.

Question 57

Q: How often do I need to change out the water when growing hydroponically?

A: It’s time for a change out when you have replenished the reservoir with water equal to the volume of the reservoir.

Question 58

Q: When growing plants in a pot, is it okay to leave water in the catch tray at the bottom?

A: Water your succulents when the soil is dry to the touch. If water sits in the tray for more than 12 hours, it will create anoxic conditions (lack of oxygen) which will cause root rot. Drain it out.
