Compound fertilizer shall indicate the content of total nutrients (in mass fraction), the marked value of total nutrients shall not be lower than the sum of the marked values of single nutrients in the formula, and other elements or compounds shall not be included in the total nutrients.

If trace elements are added, trace elements can be marked, the content of each trace element and the total content of trace elements shall be marked separately, and the content of trace elements shall not be added to the medium element. If the mass fraction of trace elements is less than 0.02%, it shall not be indicated. If a trace element is indicated or implied in the mark, the mass fraction of the trace element shall be deemed to be no less than 0.02%.
Trace element fertilizer should be marked with the single content of various trace elements and the sum of trace element nutrient content.
Organic fertilizer should be marked with organic matter content, total nutrient content.
05 Limited Substances and Indicators
The substances or elements that need to be limited and marked in the product standard shall be marked separately. The pattern of the crop should not be marked. Warning words (such as "high chlorine content, improper use will cause harm to crops", "containing biuret, improper use will cause harm to crops", "high chlorine content, containing biuret, improper use will cause harm to crops", etc.) shall be marked in a prominent manner according to the specified font size.
