18 18 19 chloride?

[treecutter]

I tried to get 10 10 10 but this is all I could find. The farm store told me this was the same as 10 10 10 and I should just use half as much. I have my tobacco plots the same as in Bob's book, 5X12 (600 square feet ) so should I just use 1/2 pound per plot? Also, they never heard of low chloride so I have attached a photo of the ingredients on the bag. I do not see any reference to chloride. What do any of you think? Thank you for your input.

The ratios among the 3 principal components (N-P-K) are almost the same as 10-10-10, so using "half as much" is reasonable. Without seeing a list of actual ingredients (i.e. the minerals from which it is made, or the brand name, so I can look it up), I can't comment on its chlorine content. 5'x12' is 60 square feet. I apply 1½ cups of my granular 10-10-10 per 60 square feet. So about ¾ cup of 18-18-19 would be about right, though that assumes it is a bunch of tiny rocks, rather than a powder. [I don't weigh it.]

Are there any other labels or info on the bag? In the USA lots of fertilizer bags will have “derived from:…” or similar on the bag. Things that would indicate chloride would be things like Muriate of Potash, for example.

The Agromart Group

Hmm. The company seems to go out of its way to avoid listing specific ingredients.

Thank you Pressured Leaf. No further information on the bag.
