Thanks for replying, no need to be rude though... I've read the lablel, says 0.3% Ca och 0,15% Mg.

According to this article (and others) frpm Haifa group the uptake by whole plants is (kg/ha):
N: 198 - 339
P2O5: 68 - 114
K2O:734 - 1268
CaO: 165 - 273
MgO: 92 - 155


Their suggestion for fertilization is (kg/ha):

N = 190 (22%)
P2O5 = 91 (10%)
K2O = 454 (52%)
CaO = 67 (8%)
MgO = 76 (9%)

8% and 9% are pretty far from 0,3% and 0,15%... that's why I'm asking. Maybe I'm missing something (this is not at all my expertise). If so, please explain (in a frieldy tone please).

Other companies claim to have banana fertilizers (spikes, pelleted) that are not as well balanced than the Fruit Fuel.
I'm using Fruit Fuel, bought from Richard a few years back. So my question is releated to Fruit fuel.
