| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses possible considerations to take when selecting a fertilizer, highlighting the information on the label. Suggests that "the most important rule to follow [when] using any chemical products is to always 'read the label.' In many cases the label is the law." Explains that "the Guaranteed Analysis (G.A.) allows [one] to judge different fertilizers on an apples-to-apples basis. This analysis clearly states what nutrients are being claimed and from which form they are derived." Lists information that may be included on a fertilizer label, including "fertilizer selection for specific situations"; "suggested rates for specific plant types or situations"; "mixing and application instructions"; "handling/storage/health and safety instructions"; and "contact information." |
