Blend Nutrients

By default, agrē adds Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potash (K) to every blend type, and these nutrients are available to be added to every blend that you make. The default blend nutrients cannot be deleted from agrē but you can add as many new ones as you need.

You will likely want to define additional nutrients which will then be added to one or more Blend Types before they can be used in your blends.

The default nutrients N-P-K are always the first three nutrients in every blend name, followed by any additional nutrients that you add to the blend. The blend type specifies the order of additional nutrients in the blend name. The blend type also specifies the order in which nutrients are listed on the batch sheet.

If you want to add additional products that aren’t nutrients (e.g. chemicals or seed) to the blend, use the Additional Products tab on the Make a Blend window.
