As the first company to offer crop-specific formulas, we offer proven, custom fertilizer blends that provide the exact macronutrients which fruits, vegetables, nuts, feed, fibers, and more need for healthy root structures and plant growth for almost any environment.

From the sandy rice land of the coastal plains, to the stone fruit trees of central Texas, to the hay and pasture lands of the eastern part of the state—each region has soil needs as unique as the crops that grow in them. For more than half a century, American Plant Food has provided just the right crop formulas for growers in each area.

Our legacy products are time-tested and help farmers across the state achieve the results they need to deliver bountiful crops, season after season. No matter the crop, determining the right formula is as simple as contacting your local dealer since they carry only the products mixed specifically for your region. We’ve done the research. Now you can benefit from the optimal blends that are continually upgraded and improved to assure you the very latest in fertilizer technology.
