Why NPK Matters
Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) are the three macronutrients essential for plant growth.
The Roles
Nitrogen: Promotes leafy growth and green color.
Phosphorus: Essential for root development and flowering.
Potassium: Improves overall plant health and disease resistance.
Choosing the Right Ratio
For leafy vegetables, choose a higher Nitrogen blend. For fruiting crops, Phosphorus and Potassium are more critical during the flowering stage.
