AGGRAND Frequently Asked
Questions Q. AGGRAND Natural Organic Fertilizer has a 4-3-3 NPK grade. Other
fertilizers have much higher numbers. Why?
A.
AGGRAND is known as a "low analysis fertilizer," hence the 4-3-3. Higher
numbers such as 27-3-3, 18-18-21, 8-8-8, etc., are achievable only through
the use of manufactured chemicals such as urea, ammonium phosphate,
potassium nitrate, etc...AGGRAND provides organic nutrients which encourage
nature, enhancing its performance... naturally. AGGRAND combines only the
highest quality organic ingredients - fish solubles for macronutrients such
as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK); and cold-water sea kelp
concentrate, containing chelated micronutrients and trace elements extracted
from seawater. Sea kelp also contains natural plant hormones, which can
increase fruit set and natural stress tolerance. Together they provide a
balanced fertilizer, which may be applied to the soil or foliage of the
plant.
Q. I use one of the highly advertised fertilizers. Why should I switch to
AGGRAND?
A.
We know that by applying a high analysis manufactured-chemical fertilizer
you can achieve a plant response, but consider the negative effects it may
have on the soil. Manufactured-chemical fertilizers have been shown to
contribute to ground water contamination by leaching and surface run-off;
create over-fed top-growth, which is susceptible to insect and disease
invasion; alter soil structure; and diminish soil microbial populations
essential to nutrient cycling. Therefore, caring for the soil is as
important as attending to the aboveground portion of the plant. A
well-balanced fertilizer program produces vigorous plants, which use their
natural defense mechanisms to tolerate insects, disease and environmental
stress. Root systems reach farther into the soil profile, so they're better
able to use organic nutrients. Larger root systems also have greater
carbohydrate reserves to sustain them through periods of stress.
Q. There are other organic fertilizers and natural products available.
Why is AGGRAND Natural Organic Fertilizer better?
A.
AGGRAND'S unique formulation makes it a fertilizer with universal
application, offering both soil and foliar benefit. Other products are
marketed as "organic-based" which simply means they are only partially
organic; that is, they are "spiked" with manufactured-chemicals to boost
their analysis. These are fundamentally just reformulated
manufactured-chemicals. DON'T BE MISLED. The following five categories are
those in which AGGR4ND Natural Organic Fertilizer possesses a clear and
dramatic advantage over competitive fertilizers -chemical or organic.
Proven Performance
AGGRAND Natural Organic Fertilizer was developed through extensive research
to respond to the needs of environmentally conscious homeowners, turf
managers and fruit and vegetable producers. The product was also developed
with the retailer in mind to provide a user-friendly product to fit the
liquid organic market demands. Its effectiveness has been proven in
comprehensive laboratory, greenhouse and field-testing. AGGRAND NOF plants
demonstrated vigorous growth resulting in increased yields and more insect
and disease tolerance.
Balanced Nutritional Program
A well-balanced, natural organic plant nutrition
program provides plants with all the macro and micronutrients without the
risk of excessive top-growth associated with typical high-nitrogen programs.
High-nitrogen programs can also lead to increased susceptibility to insect,
disease and drought-stress related problems.
Versatile
AGGRAND NOF is ideal for vegetables, flowers, lawns, shrubs, trees and
houseplants. It is a multi-purpose natural organic fertilizer, able to do
the work of a shelf full of ordinary products.
Convenient
AGGRAND Natural Organic Fertilizer is available in cases of six-quart
bottles or in 21/2-gallon pails, either of which is ideal for the garden,
home or lawn. When used in conjunction with the Ferti-Gator hose-end sprayer
or your existing pressure sprayer, a convenient, accurate fertilizer
application is achieved. For larger applications 55-gallon drums and bulk
orders are available.
Environmental
AGGRAND Natural Organic Fertilizer is your environmental choice. Organic
fertilizers are naturally time-released, relying on soil microbes to
metabolize complex compounds and make them available to plants. This is
nature's system of checks and balances; microbes are most active when
conditions for plant growth are the best. As a result, nutrients are
released when they are in the greatest demand.
Q. Is AGGRAND more expensive to use than most chemical fertilizers?
A
No, in most cases AGGRAND is less expensive to use per season than most
products while providing beautiful, healthy plants and super yields of high
quality, nutritious vegetables, fruits and field crops.
Q What plants and or crops should this fertilizer be used on?
A AGGRAND works great on all fruits,
vegetables, flowers, crops, lawn trees, shrubs and even houseplants.
Q Why is AGGRAND better than other fertilizers?
A AGGRAND is the most highly formulated line of
natural liquid fertilizer products on the market today.
Q
AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers have a lower NPK grade than chemical fertilizers
do. Does this mean that they are less effective than the chemical
fertilizers?
A
Not at all! In fact testing has demonstrated that AGGRAND products are more
effective than chemical fertilizers, because they stimulate the soil
microbial activity, helping to process the nutrients, making them more
available to plants. Only 7-8% of most chemical fertilizers is utilized by
the plant while the rest becomes run-off that can contaminate surface and
groundwater.
