A healthy soil structure and pH are just as important as fertiliser application in the prevention of plant nutrient deficiencies. Most fertilisers are based on the three major plant nutrients: Nitrogen (N): For green leafy growth, Phosphorus (P): For healthy root and shoot growth, Potassium (K): For flowering, fruiting and general hardiness. Fertilisers are used to improve plant growth. The faster growing the plant, the more it will benefit from fertiliser application.
