Everything You Need to Know About Our Batch Numbers and Storage Tips
At Plant-Prod, we believe that understanding the finer details of our products can empower you to get the best results for your plants. Whether you’re a professional grower or a gardening enthusiast, knowing how to store your fertilizer and what our batch numbers mean can make all the difference. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the importance of our unique batch numbers, share tips on proper storage, and explain why Plant-Prod fertilizers don’t have an expiry date.
What Are Batch Numbers, and Why Are They Important?
Every Plant-Prod fertilizer bag is labeled with a unique alphanumeric batch number, like 21-F02-267, which is more than just a random assortment of characters. It can be found on the front of the bag in black ink. This batch number contains essential information that ensures the quality and traceability of our products.
Breaking Down the Batch Number: 21-F02-267
Our batch number system is designed to provide specific information at a glance:
- Year: The first two digits, “21,” represent the year of production, in this case, 2021.
- Production Machine: The letter “F” indicates the production machine used to create this particular batch.
- Run Sequence of the Day: The following two digits, “02,” signify the sequence of production runs on that day.
- Julian Date: The final three digits, “267,” correspond to the Julian date of production (the 267th day of the year – September 24, 2021).
By looking at this batch number, we can easily trace back the product to its origins, identifying production conditions and exact weights of materials used. This traceability is crucial for maintaining the high standards that Plant-Prod is known for. In the unlikely event of a quality concern, the batch number allows us to quickly identify and address any issues.
Why Proper Storage Matters
While Plant-Prod fertilizers do not have an expiry date, proper storage is key to maintaining their flowability and ease of use. Water-soluble fertilizers, like ours, can remain stable indefinitely if stored under the right conditions.
Storage Tips for Optimal Fertilizer Performance
- Keep It Dry: Moisture is the catalyst of water-soluble fertilizers. Always store your fertilizer bags in a dry place to prevent them from clumping or dissolving prematurely.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Store your fertilizer in a cool, consistent temperature environment. Avoid areas that experience extreme heat or cold, as these conditions can affect the chemical stability of the product.
- Seal It Tight: Once you’ve opened a bag, ensure it is tightly sealed after each use. This prevents moisture and contaminants from getting inside.
By following these storage tips, you can be sure that your Plant-Prod fertilizer will be ready to provide optimal nutrition to your plants whenever you need it.
No Expiry Date? No Problem!
Unlike many other products, Plant-Prod fertilizers do not come with an expiry date. This is because our fertilizers are formulated to remain effective indefinitely when stored correctly.
