What does NPK stand for?
(N)Nitrogen (P)Phosphorus (K)Potassium The NPK percentage is usually shown in plant fertilizers. Chemical fertilisers have more NPK than natural fertilisers.
What are the ingredients in man-made fertilizer?
Depends on the formulation of the fertilizer in question. Generally the most commonly produced fertiliser blends are "NPK" type fertilisers. These contain the three main "macro-nutrients" that plants require for growth - namely Nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P) and Potassium (K) - the NPK notation is the chemical element as per the periodic table. The amount or ratio of NP and K varies according to the formulation that is manufactured and according to the purpose of the fertiliser. Nitrogen - encourages green shoot formation Phosphates - aid in the establishment of a good root system Potassium - is used in flower and fruit formation For example a fertiliser NPK 10-10-10 can be produced, this has equal parts NPK and can be considered a "balanced fertiliser", another formulation such as NPK 3-1-5 is designed to promote shoot (green) growth and flowering and fruiting - and only offers a small percentage of Phosphate for root development. Advanced formula of chemical fertilisers can also contain Trace Elements (normally denoted by +TE after the NPK on the packaging). These provide the equally necessary micro-elements for growth (Copper, Boron, Manganese etc.) but in much smaller quantities than the NPK portion.
What are the two main kinds of plant fertilizers?
Organic fertilisers - those that originate from the processing of organic or vegetative materials. Examples are bone meal, humus, blood meal, urea (although urea is part processed). organic fertilisers are normally much more diluted than chemical fertilisers and take a longer time to affect the growth of the plant, they are however longer acting and normally add to/ improve the structure of the soil. Chemical fertilisers - these are compounds that are manufactured from chemicals or chemical byproducts (eg. through the gas and petroleum industry). They are concentrated, fast acting and come in a wide variety of formulations. They can however damage crops if they are incorrectly applied, leach easily from the soil (contributing to the pollution of ground water) and they (normally) have no long residual action in the soil. Examples of these are: NPK formulations, ammonia nitrate, ammonia suphate etc.
Can fertilisers come under toxic chemicals?
Fertilisers are not toxic products; but, of course, fertilizers must be used only rationally and in controlled conditions.
What liquid makes plants grow faster?
I've done a science experiment and i used Organic detergent water, coke, water, liquid fertilizer and salt water. Organic detergent water worked best, then water and fertilizer, then salt, then coke (which the soil went mouldy!!!).
What does NPK stand for?
(N)Nitrogen (P)Phosphorus (K)Potassium The NPK percentage is usually shown in plant fertilizers. Chemical fertilisers have more NPK than natural fertilisers.
Why aren't there any fertilizers that contain phosphorus?
All multipurpose fertilisers contain NPK. Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphates. Also bone meal is high in Phosphates.

Are NPK fertilizers harmless?
are npk fertilizers harmless
What kind of nutrients do you feed hydrponic marijuana plants?
weed plants (hydroponic or otherwise) need three essential nutrient : Nitrogen, phosphorus and pottasium. other micro-nutrients, enzymes etc are usually beneficial as well. Hydroponic fertilisers will have an NPK ratio (three nummbers separated by dashes (1-1-1)) n = nitrogen, p = phosphorus and k = pottasium. To find relevant information on the best fertilisers and npk ratios etc, just try googling it and you will find lots of websites and forums devoted to the subject of growing cannabis.

What is the difference between Fertilisers and Bio-fertilisers?
The difference is that chemical fertilizers have chemicals. And bio fertilizers don't.
