The text is a description about a liquid fertilizer. But i'm not sure about the next phrase:
液態雜項次量微量要素肥料
specially the words 雜項次量. At first i thought that 次量 could be translated as "correlation", but it doesn't make any sense. Maybe it would be enough to translate it just a "diverse" o "miscellaneous", like in "Liquid fertilizer with diverse/miscellaneous trace elements"? But i'm not sure about this translation, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Compound fertilizer with secondary nutrients (and trace elements)
A more literal secondary elements would, as far as I am aware, work too, but secondary nutrients is the way I believe most fertilizer descriptions put it.
The way I understand it there is a "、" between 次量 and 微量 (which is often omitted for brevities sake).

(四十二)液態雜項次量微量要素肥料(品目編號4-42)
1.適用範圍：含鈣、矽、鎂、硼、鐵、錳、鉬、氮、磷、鉀、銅、鋅二種或二種以上，所製成者。
4.限制事項：
4.5不得以***複合肥料***之名稱或效果為標示、廣告或宣傳。
Thus, the term "compound fertilizers" should not be used for this product category, although this product is formed by at least two types of elements (二種或二種以上).
