The Nue-Tree 16-12-12 NPK Tree Planting Fertiliser is designed for use in low fertility sites or where heather check is a limiting factor. Although ‘straight N’ can help crops grow out of heather check, the subsequent growth boost can lead to induced P & K deficiencies. Applying all three major nutrients together – in the nutrient ratios as per the original Forest Research work at Alice Holt – reduces the risk of induced deficiency and provides a broad-spectrum fertiliser for optimum growth.
