What is NPK fertilizer?
NPK fertilizer is a complex combination of three main substances required for plant growth. The agricultural industry relies heavily on the use of NPK fertilizers for global food supply and crop health. As a result of this increase in production due to the use of mineral fertilizers, the world's population has almost doubled.
NPK fertilizer compounds
The plant needs a lot of nutrients for its healthy and optimal growth. Without these nutrients, plants cannot grow to their full potential, the harvest rate decreases and they are more exposed to disease. The most important nutrients trees cannot survive without are known as macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
In most cases, soils are deficient in these substances, which can be natural or the result of excessive cultivation and other environmental factors. If there is a deficiency, nutrients should be added to the soil to create a suitable environment for optimal plant growth.
Each of the macro elements (major nutrients) is essential in plant nutrition and plays an essential role in plant growth, expansion and reproduction.
All types of NPK fertilizers are available in Geochemistry:
NPK 20 20 20
NPK 12 12 36
NPK 15 05 30
NPK 10 52 10
