ECOLOGICAL FERTILIZER ON THE NORTH SHORE
Our teams apply four granular fertilizers during the summer, according to municipal regulations.
Ecological Fertilizers
Fertilizers act as foods for plants. Like us, plants need to be fed in sufficient quantity and quality to grow and stay healthy. Thus, plants and crops must find the necessary nutrients in the soil in order to grow well.
Plants need a balanced supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur. Since they draw these nutrients from the soil during each growing season, it is important to enrich the fields and gardens each year with fertilizer, manure and compost.
The main advantage of fertilizers is that they can be applied in measured quantities to meet the specific needs of crops and protect the environment. Fertilizers can also supplement manure or compost to ensure a balanced supply of nutrients. Fertilizer Canada emphasizes the importance of managing and balancing the supply of nutrients in order to avoid a too high (or too low) fertilization of the land.
