NPK

Stands for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) - the three primary nutrients required for plant growth.

NPK represents the three macronutrients essential for plant survival and growth.

  • Nitrogen (N) is crucial for leafy growth and the production of chlorophyll.
  • Phosphorus (P) is vital for root development, flowering, and fruiting.
  • Potassium (K) helps with overall plant health, disease resistance, and water regulation.

Fertiliser packages display these as a ratio (e.g., 5-10-5), indicating the percentage of each nutrient.
