This plant-based product is made from pelleted soybean meal and contains no animal by-products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for vegetative crops\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 7-1-2 analysis emphasizes nitrogen for crops harvested primarily for foliage, including lettuce, kale, spinach, chard, and many culinary herbs. The pellets break down gradually, providing a steadier nutrient release than immediately soluble nitrogen sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe low phosphorus and moderate potassium levels make the formula distinct from a balanced all-purpose fertilizer. It is best placed within a broader fertility plan rather than used automatically throughout every stage of crop growth. Flowering and fruiting crops may require a different nutrient balance later in their production cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplication planning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-plant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Published guidance is 10–20 lb per 1,000 sq ft before sowing or transplanting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide-dressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a measured amount during growth when crop demand and soil fertility justify additional nitrogen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Published guidance is approximately 400 lb per acre, adjusted for soil conditions and the fertility program.

Account for compost, cover crops, previous fertilizer, irrigation, and existing nitrogen before applying. Excess nitrogen can produce overly soft foliage, delay maturity, or reduce crop quality.
