It is true that fertilizers with this N-P-K (16-8-24) and the complimentary ratio 2:1:3 are in existence -- and for good reason. Certainly my supplier already makes the formula you listed above. But it did not go far enough.



I appreciate your concern

I spent 3 decades as a scientist in both the public and private sector and in the evenings taught at 5 universities over the same time span. I have published many papers in my career, both as a primary and joint author. After 9-11 when my employer's clients were killed in the world trade center, I spent a few years trying various vocations and then started my present business.

For this project, I hired 3 PhDs from major agricultural universities, consulted another dozen, paid for trial formulations and lab tests. I think we got it right.
