NPK 20:44:0 Granules in Home Gardening
NPK 20:44:0 is a high-phosphorus fertilizer, mainly used for root development, flowering, and early plant establishment. Since it does not contain potassium (K = 0%), it is best used during the early growth stage before switching to a more balanced fertilizer.
Why Use 20:44:0 Granules?
✔ Nitrogen (N - 20%) → Promotes leafy growth and healthy green foliage. 🌿
✔ Phosphorus (P - 44%) → Strengthens roots, improves flowering, and supports seed germination. 🌱🌸
❌ Potassium (K - 0%) → This fertilizer does not provide potassium, so additional potassium may be needed in later stages.
✅ Best for seedlings, young plants, flowering plants, and root vegetables.
How to Apply NPK 20:44:0 Granules?
1. Dry Application (Direct to Soil)
🔹 For small plants and potted plants → Apply 1 teaspoon (5g) per plant every 20-25 days.
🔹 For larger plants and trees → Mix 20-30g per square meter into the soil.
🔹 Always water after application to help nutrients dissolve into the soil.
2. Liquid Application (Fast Absorption by Roots)
🔹 For root feeding: Dissolve 5g (1 teaspoon) in 1 liter of water and apply every 15-20 days.
🔹 For foliar spray: Not recommended, as high phosphorus fertilizers are best absorbed by roots.
Best Uses of NPK 20:44:0 Granules
✅ For early-stage plant growth and root strengthening.
✅ Ideal for flowering plants, vegetables, and fruit trees during the early stage.
✅ Best used before switching to potassium-rich fertilizers like 5:15:45 for fruiting.
This fertilizer ensures strong roots and better flowering, making it perfect for starting new plants and improving bloom production! 🌱🌸🍀
Precautions When Using NPK 20:44:0 Granules
⚠ Do not overuse, as excessive phosphorus can reduce nutrient uptake.
⚠ Avoid applying directly on plant stems or leaves, spread around the base.
⚠ Water well after application, so nutrients penetrate deep into the soil.
⚠ Combine with a potassium-rich fertilizer (like 5:15:45) during the fruiting stage for better results.
