What is 20/20 for plants?
NPK 20 20 20 is a highly concentrated, balanced plant fertiliser. It contains equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It is ideal for growing plants in poor quality soils as it provides a high amount of each of the three essential plant macronutrients. NPK 20:20:20 contains slightly higher concentrations of each nutrient compared to NPK 19:19:19. This means it can deliver a bigger nutrient boost with the same quantity of fertilizer. For crops that need intensive nutrition, NPK 20:20:20 might be the preferred option.Following recommended rates and monitoring plant response is key. Application Timing: Applying NPK 19-19-19 in the early morning or late evening can reduce nutrient loss due to evaporation and help plants absorb nutrients more efficiently. Avoid applying during peak sunlight hours to prevent potential fertilizer burn.
