What is N-P-K?
-
N is for Nitrogen
- Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, development, and reproduction.
- Despite nitrogen being one of the most abundant elements on earth, nitrogen deficiency is probably the most common nutritional problem affecting plants worldwide – nitrogen from the atmosphere and earth's crust is not directly available to plants.
- Nitrogen essential for plants.
-
P is for Phosphorus
- Phosphorus in and for plants is very important. Unlike other nutrients, it helps plants promote cell division and convert other nutrients into usable building blocks which aid a plant through its growth cycles.
- Phosphorus is one of the main three nutrients most commonly found in fertilizers and is the “P” in the N, P, and K balance that is presented on most of or nutrients and fertilizers.
- Phosphorus is essential to a plant’s growth.
-
K is for Potassium
- Potassium or the element abbreviation (K) is for a plant’s overall health and vigor.
- Adequate levels of Potassium ensure the overall health and longevity of plants.
- Plants will show they are Potassium deficient with browning/darkened edges (almost look burnt) on their leaves and will often produce very few blooms/fruit.
- There is no level at which K becomes toxic to plants, but excessive K can block the absorption of the other two nutrients.
