However, the answer is false because the statement does not provide any evidence or reasoning to support this claim.

    Explanation
    When positioning a Scotts product against a competitor's, it is not necessarily the most important thing to match the N-P-K analysis. While N-P-K analysis is important for understanding the nutrient content of a fertilizer, there are other factors to consider when positioning a product against a competitor's. These factors may include price, brand reputation, product features, customer reviews, and target audience. Therefore, it is not true that matching N-P-K analysis is the most important thing when positioning a Scotts product against a competitor's.
