EME NPK 20-10-10 Fertilizer | 50kg

Description

EME NPK 20-10-10 Fertilizer | 50kg are natural, like manure, and fertilizers that are man-made. EME NPK 20-10-10 are fertilizers that contain the elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K).

Why these elements? Well, each element has been found to improve the health and appearance of plants. For example,

• Nitrogen is good at making the leaves grow
• Phosphorus improves fruit and/or flower production as well as root growth
• Potassium is great for overall plant health

Often the soil the plants are growing in lacks some of these nutrients, so by adding them in as a fertilizer, plants do better. Let’s say you buy a 50 lb. bag of fertilizer that says 10-6-4 on it. The first number represents nitrogen, the second number is phosphorus, and the third is potassium. And, if it is a 50 lb. bag, the numbers indicate that 5 lbs. is nitrogen (or 10%), 3 pounds is phosphorus (or 6%), and 2 pounds is potassium (or 4%).

How N-P-K Affects Crops

• Nitrogen (N) mainly affects vegetative growth and general health. Nitrogen ensures that leaves can grow. It is a nutrient that gives leaves their green color and makes leaves produce oxygen. Nitrogen deficiency is recognized by the yellowing of leaves and slowing or stopping of growth. Excess of nitrogen is recognized by extremely fast growth, resulting in long and weak shoots with dark green leaves.
• Phosphorus (P) is largely responsible for root growth and fruit and flower development.
• Potassium (K) is important for the general health of plants.  It also stimulates root growth and the development of the trunk.

Application of EME NPK 20-10-10 Fertilizer | 50kg:

Broadcast pre-plant treatment is ideal for wider areas; after application, till the soil to incorporate the fertilizer and reduce the risk of run-off in the event of rain.

Dilute the fertilizer in a bucket of water to avoid poisoning the plants, particularly the tender young ones. This approach also makes it possible for the plant to consume it. Water the plant again since fertilizing it with fertilizer, except this time with normal water.

Pour the fertilizer into a clean, dry bucket and walk down the row, dropping the fertilizer next to plants. The chemicals in the fertilizer will burn plants if dropped directly on them. For small plants, use a small volume, about one tablespoon each.

A hopper with a wheel to drive a dispensing mechanism and chutes to guide fertilizer to the row make up this device.
