Benefits and specialty of ‘HIGH NPK’
- ‘High N+P+K’ provides 5% N, 10% P and 8% K in organic form.
- It contains about 15% organic carbon.
- Being organic it improves the fertility and the productivity of the soil.
- Besides NPK, it also contains secondary (Ca, Mg, S) and micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, B and Mo) for better plant growth. Use of ‘High N+P+K’, increases the chlorophyll content, luster of leaves, taste and keeping quality of the produce /vegetables and fruits.
- Use of ‘High N+P+K’ makes the soil loose and friable and improves the infiltration rate.
- It helps in maintaining the soil pH and increases the root growth.
- The nutrients being in organic form have minimum losses. The losses of nitrogen by volatilization (gaseous) and leaching are minimum. Fixation of P and K in the soil is low thereby making these nutrients more available to crop plants over longer duration.
- When applied with chemical phosphatic fertilizers, the fixation of P is reduced.
- Available in both powder and pellet form.
- Other constituents of ‘High N+P+K’ have insecticidal properties hence its use protects the roots from nematodes and other insects.
- ‘High N+P+K’ is guaranteed pure organic fertilizer.
- High NPK and organic carbon content (about 15%) content helps in increasing microbial population at a faster rate.
- Low C: N ratio ensures mineralization and hence more availability of N.
- Its use with biofertilizers increases the microbial population and their activity in soil.
