N-P-K Fertilizers

N-P-K fertilizers are named after their primary nutrients: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). Nitrogen promotes lush, green growth and leaf development. Phosphorus supports root growth, flowering, and fruiting. Potassium helps overall plant health, improves disease resistance, and enhances fruit quality. Fertilizers are labeled with a three-number ratio like 10-20-10, indicating the percentage of each nutrient. Proper application tailored to plant needs and soil conditions encourages healthy growth and higher crop yields. Understanding these nutrients helps gardeners and farmers choose the right fertilizer for specific plant requirements.
