Artal NPK 12-12-17 (Fertilizer) | 50kg: Product Description

Artal Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 is a type of fertilizer that provides plants with a balanced combination of three essential nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K).

The NPK ratio indicates the relative proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus (expressed as P₂O₅), and potassium (expressed as K₂O) in the fertilizer. it contains 12% nitrogen, 12% phosphorus (as P₂O₅), and 17% potassium (as K₂O) by weight. This balanced ratio ensures that plants receive adequate amounts of each essential nutrient, supporting healthy growth, development, and productivity.

Here’s a detailed explanation of each component and its role in plant growth and development

NPK Ratio 12-12-17:

Nitrogen (N):

• It is a major component of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for the green color in plants, and is essential for photosynthesis.
• Nitrogen promotes vegetative growth, including the development of leaves, stems, and branches.
• It can result in stunted growth, pale or yellowing leaves (chlorosis), and reduced yield.

Phosphorus (P):

• Phosphorus is essential for energy transfer within the plant, as it is a component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy carrier in cells.
• Phosphorus promotes root development, flowering, and fruiting, supporting overall plant growth and productivity.
• It plays a key role in DNA and RNA synthesis, cell division, and various biochemical processes within the plant.
• It can lead to poor root development, delayed flowering, and decreased fruit or seed production.

Potassium (K):

• Potassium is necessary for various physiological processes within the plant, including osmoregulation, enzyme activation, and stomatal regulation.
• It regulates water uptake and transpiration, helping plants to maintain turgor pressure and withstand drought stress.
• Potassium enhances plant vigor, resilience, and disease resistance, improving overall plant health and productivity.
• It can result in weakened stems, increased susceptibility to diseases, and poor fruit quality.

Application:

• Artal fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 can be applied to a wide range of crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and field crops.
• It can be applied as a basal dressing before planting, as a top dressing during the growing season, or as a foliar spray for quick nutrient uptake by plants.
• The fertilizer should be applied at the recommended rates based on soil or tissue testing and specific crop requirements.
