Without fertilizer, it would be impossible to produce enough food for everyone. So, if fertilizer goes bad, how can you know that the fertilizer you are using is good? How long does it last? Will it lose its nutrients over time? We will answer some of these questions in this article.
Fertilizer does degrade over time and it will change in color. If you have a container with your fertilizer you should keep it closed and stored away from heat or sunlight.
You should use a fertilizer that is formulated for your specific plant. Most fertilizer products are labeled with their nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) content.
Organic fertilizers, such as compost, peat moss, and fish emulsion.
Inorganic fertilizers, such as ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, triple superphosphate, diammonium phosphate, and monoammonium phosphate
Some fertilizer products are formulated to be used for a specific period, and if the product is overstayed, the plant’s nutrient value will be affected.
It only lasts for as many years as the manufacturers have indicated on the package. The moment you exceed this period, just knows that the fertilizer becomes less potent and might not give you the best results you expect.
