Answer:

it's a label number

Step-by-step explanation:

Every label carries three conspicuous numbers, usually right above or below the product name. These three numbers form what is called the fertilizer's N-P-K ratio โ€” the proportion of three plant nutrients in order: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
