There are different percentages of NPK fertilizers:
For example some of them are 20-20-20 which means 20% Nitrogen 20% phosphorous and 20% Potas
There are other percentages also for example 15-15-15 or 10-20-10 or ...
Base on the plants need different percentages are being used.

On a label NPK fertilizer is written What does this expression mean?
N stands for Nitrogen.P and K stands for phospharus and pottasium respectively.They are elements in fertilizer.
Will plants still grow without the NPK fertilizer if all the trace elements are present?
yes if u lick my balls
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.
Why use npk fertiliser as opposed to nitrates?
The answer is in the translation of NPK and what that means to plants. NPK is an abbreviation for nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, the three main nutrients that stimulate plant growth. The N of NPK relates to nitrogen, the primary nutrient that stimulates the growth of leaf and stem. Turf grass loves nitrogen because it's nothing but leaf and stem. Fertilizers blended for this purpose always have a very high nitrogen content and low phosphorous and potassium counts. If the "nitrates" that you refer to are a purely nitrogen fertilizer such as Urea which is 46-0-0, then read on. The P and K of this formula indicate the amount of phosphorous and potassium the fertilizer contains. These nutrients stimulate roots, flowers and fruits. Formulas designed to stimulate flowering or fruit producition will have higher percentages of these nutrients along with the nitrogen. Therefore a balanced fertilizer should have all these nutrients to function well with a wide range of garden plants.
What is the pH value for 6.71?
A pH value 6,71 is a bit under neutral.
npk fertilizer production line?
npk production line
What does Iffco manufacture?
npk fertilizer
Can you export NPK fertilizer?
Yes, NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilizers can be exported.
Do you know how to make granules of npk compound fertilizer?
The npk production line for producing npk compound fertilizer includes feeding, mixing, granulating, screening, drying, cooling, packaging and other links. Do you want to know how to make npk compound fertilizer granules? NPK compound fertilizer granulation equipment is the main equipment for producing NPK granular fertilizer. Such as npk compound fertilizer double roller granulator, npk compound fertilizer disc granulator and npk compound fertilizer drum granulator, etc.NPK fertilizer twin roll extrusion granulator is the most popular granulator among all NPK fertilizer granulator. Why does the public choose a twin-roll extrusion granulator? The npk compound fertilizer double roller granulator belongs to dry granulation. So you don't need to use drum dryer and drum cooler to remove moisture from npk fertilizer granules. This will save you production time and the cost of coolers and dryers. Various granule shapes can be selected with the npk fertilizer twin roll extrusion granulator. Such as pillow shape, semicircle shape, rod shape, pill shape, walnut shape, flat shape, square bar shape, etc. Besides twin roll extrusion granulation, we also have another fertilizer making machine rotary drum granulator to make npk fertilizer granules. Compared with the twin-roll extrusion granulator, there are some different features. Lined with rubber engineering plastics, the raw materials are not easy to stick to the cylinder. Rubber engineering plastics can also play the role of anti-corrosion insulation. This npk fertilizer drum granulator still has the characteristics of large output, low power consumption and low maintenance cost. The particle formation rate of npk fertilizer is as high as 70%, and the amount of returning material is small. And the particle size of the returned material is small, which can be re-granulated. In addition, the drum granulation method is used to make npk fertilizer, no matter the powder fertilizer can be successfully made into granular npk at a temperature lower than or higher than room temperature.
What are the function of NPK to agriculture?
NPK is fertilizer. It comes as a ratio of the amount of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) is in the fertilizer mixture. Fertilizer is added to crops when they are seeded to help in growth.
What is the NPK of a mixture of equal amounts of one fertilizer whose NPK is 2-1-1 with another whose NPK is 0-3-1?
2-4-2.
What type of fertilizer?
Solid and liquid ,NPK or micro elements,cold weather or warm weather ,single elements or combinations,pH levels, certified for organic use and many more.
What is the pH level of fertilizer?
the PH of fertilizer is 8.5 but can vary it can be lower
What is an example of NPK fertilizer?
A fertilizer whose main nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is an example of NPK fertilizer.Specifically, NPK are the respective symbols for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. They claim the largest percentage of necessary nutrients needed for healthy plants and soils. Depending upon the other ingredients, they may be sold in inorganic or organic forms.
On a label NPK fertilizer is written What does this expression mean?
N stands for Nitrogen.P and K stands for phospharus and pottasium respectively.They are elements in fertilizer.
What is water-soluble garden fertilizer?
Generally, water soluble fertilizer would be an inorganic fertilizer like Miracle Gro. You will notice that organic fertilizers have NPK under 10. For example, Gardens Alive company has a fertilizer called Tomatoes Alive which has NPK of 6-2-2. Miracle Gro has an NPK something like 37-17-10. This is because it is water soluble and dissolves quickly out of the soil, whereas the organic fertilizers persist in the soil and are gradually broken down by soil organisms to make the nutrients available to the plant.
What is the full form of NPK fertilizers?
it is the combination of nitrate,potash and phosphorous used for agriculture
