Strawberry Fertilizer Information
McNitt Growers is proud to offer Plant Marvel Laboratories, Inc. water soluble fertilizers. Plant Marvel offers a wide variety of complete fertilizer for all your crop needs.
For strawberry growers, either 12-5-19 or 14-5-22 has been the preferred formulas for their strawberry production program. Both formulas provide a complete nutritional package in a single bag. This simplifies a growers’ life.
Growers can be provided a week by week recommendation of fertilizer to apply. This recommendation is based off the number of plants in a field and the required amount of nutrients a strawberry plant requires at each stage of the growing cycle. Minor adjustments may be needed, based off petiole sampling.
