NPK 17:17:17 is a field-grade fertilizer composed of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and potassium in balanced proportions suitable for improved production of most crops.
Why Use NPK 17:17:17
- It’s Universal and can be used on all crops (from vegetables to fruit trees).
- Nitrogen is essential in promoting the growth of leaves and vegetation.
- Phosphorous promotes roots and shoot growth.
- Potassium is important for the regulation of water and nutrient movement in plant cells, thereby promoting fruiting, flowering, and hardiness and promoting the overall health of the plant by providing resistance to diseases.
- It is however recommended that the right amount of fertilizer be given to the plants according to their needs as more or less is dangerous.
- Default application rates: 50-75kg/acre (soil testing is however recommended).
