NPK 20:20:20

Overview

A balanced, fully water-soluble grade from Agritas: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in one bag. Like every fertiliser grade, the three figures are nitrogen, phosphate and potash, so the elements themselves are not in equal parts. It is a top-up for a crop held back by nutrition rather than by water, salt, root damage or disease — worth settling that first, because a crop can look pale and slow for reasons no fertiliser will fix. It is a nutrient, not a spray for pests or disease.

Mode of action

Balanced water-soluble fertiliser supplying nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium together. Nitrogen drives leaf growth, phosphorus builds roots, potassium fills grain and fruit.

Dose & application

Rate: take it from the pack. Your Haryali Markaz will confirm it against the label in your hand.

Method: dissolved, through a sprayer or the drip. Mix it in a bucket with your own water first.

Timing: through the growing season, to carry the crop along. There is no pest threshold here — this is a fertiliser.

Why it pays

Nitrogen drives the leaf, phosphorus builds the root, potassium fills the grain and the fruit. Having all three in one soluble bag means a crop that is behind can be carried along while a soil test or a closer look tells you which of them is actually short — and once you know, the single-nutrient product will do more for the money than a balanced one.

Field tips

Soluble in the jar is not the same as safe in the line: on hard or high-bicarbonate water — which is most tubewell water here — the phosphate can come back out of solution and block emitters. Try it in a bucket with your own water first, and flush after every fertigation. Use it to carry a crop along, not as the season's main feed. And if one clear symptom shows — yellowing from the oldest leaves up, a purple cast, scorched leaf margins — check it before buying, because cold or waterlogged ground, salty water and root damage give the same signs.

Safety

Do not mix nutrients into a tank with other products unless the label says it is safe. Spray on the foliage in the cool part of the day; applying in strong heat scorches the leaves. Store in a dry place away from feed and drinking water.
