Dr. Earth Sweet & Sour Citrus Fertilizer is formulated from premium organic nutrients and TruBiotic®, a broad spectrum biological inoculant containing beneficial microbes and mycorrhizae fungi. The beneficial microbes and mycorrhizae work in the soil to completely break down organic matter, allow for seamless nutrient uptake, and to encourage vibrant root growth. This microbial soil activity works synergistically with the primary and micronutrients to produce plants that perform at their very best.
