All fertilizers contain different amounts of macro- and micro-elements.

The most predominant macro-elements are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). The fertilizer packaging clearly states the proportions of N:P:K elements numerically.  Trace elements (micro-elements) are also necessary in small amounts for healthy plants and are generally included in fertilizers.
