A Insight Into The Uses
Of The NPK Fertilizer!
Plants require basic mineral from the soil and environment
to grow healthily. NPK is the general name used to refer to
the three basic nutrient components required by plants for
their growth. Since the soil in their natural condition does
not always provide adequate nutrient support to the plants,
fertilizers are used to provide artificial support.
NPK fertilizers are a common form of fertilizers where the
basic components are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and
Potassium.
There are numerous fertilizers available in the market to
support sustained plant growth, however, to make it easier
the fertilizers are commonly segregated as macro nutrients
and micro nutrients.
The Macro nutrient group is again divided into Primary and
Secondary nutrients. This division is based on the basic
necessity and popular requirement of plants.
The three primary nutrients which are mostly required by
plants to acquire optimum nutrient conditions for growth a
Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium, which together forms
NPK fertilizers.
Composition of NPK
NPK is a particular type of combination of
nutrients to formulate different fertilizers.
Every fertilizer has different composition ratio
of the nutrients. Fertilizers are essentially
labeled with the mention of this nutrient ratio
of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium that
is N: P: K. Typically 1:1:1 ratio is considered
ideal for all types of plants. However, this
ratio essentially differs to 15:30:15 when it
comes to gardening or plantation of flowering
plants.
Benefits of Nitrogen



It is an essential nutrient component of
Chlorophyll.
Helps in ready and sustained growth of plant
stems, foliage, branches etc.
Since plants essentially drain the soil from
nitrogen by absorbing high quantity, the soil
becomes low with nitrogen content. The plant
leaves tend to turn yellow with nitrogen
deficiency. In such circumstances nitrogen in
NPK fertilizers becomes an essential
requirement.
Benefits of Potassium



Potassium in NPK fertilizers is known to
enhance the resistive strength of plants to
endure rough climatic conditions like drought,
extremes of temperature, etc.
It is a necessary component in soil that helps
the plant in budding, ripening of fruits and
growth of roots.
It also promotes the disease controlling power
of plants.
Since Potassium is considerably extracted from
the soil by growing plants to meet their needs,
it should necessary be supplied with NPK
supplements from time to time to avoid
deficiency.
Benefits of Phosphorus




Phosphorus is an integral requirement for the
nourishment of plants and their prosperous
vegetation when it comes to flowering, seeds and
roots.
Your soil pH level must range from 5.5 to 7 so as
to offer optimum quantity of phosphorus to
plants.
Since this component remains in soil unlike
nitrogen, you can add it accordingly to support
growth in the beginning of the vegetation phase.
Carrots, turnips, etc root vegetations are
dependent on adequate sources of phosphorus
which NPK fertilizers provide them.
