NPK is the designation of the complete granular fertilizer.

Specifically, a complete fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as its three main nutrient ingredients. An incomplete fertilizer lacks one or two of the main ingredients. The letters NPK represent the respective symbols for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The numbers tell the percentage weight of each nutrient, as in 15-15-15.
