Water Soluble NPK Fertilizers; Help in Growth of Plants, Root, and Stem Development and Photosynthesis

 

Water soluble NPK fertilizers provide all the essential nutrients required by the plant, such as Potassium (K), Phosphorous (P) and Nitrogen (N). Since the fertilizer is 100% water-soluble, it can be used in hydroponics also. Because of their high water solubility, granule size and band placement are generally not important. Fertilizers are chemical substances supplied to the crops to increase their productivity. The fertilizers contain the essential nutrients required by the plants. They enhance the water retention capacity of the soil and also increase its fertility.

Water soluble NPK fertilizers are fertilizers that can be dissolved in water and can be easily mixed or removed from the soil. Moreover, it is easier to control the exact amount of nutrients required by the plants, with the help of water soluble fertilizers. Thus, due to high nutritional content, there is an increasing demand for water soluble NPK fertilizers worldwide. Moreover, demand for water soluble NPK fertilizers has increased due to increasing adoption of micro irrigation in the U.S., as it distributes fertilizers evenly and improves growth efficiency.

However, fertilizers that contain hazardous wastes are, however, subject to the contaminant concentration limits established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Unlike granular, slow-release fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers offer nutrients already dissolved in water, so they will be quickly available to the plants. Water-soluble nutrients are released when exposed to moisture and this is both good and bad. It makes available nutrients in stronger concentrations than available in organic fertilizers and may produce greater production.

Using water-soluble fertilizers is the easiest way to consistently get the most nutrients to plants that they are able to absorb. NPK stands for nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium which are three of the most important nutrients required by plants. The NPK ratio is the percent amounts of each nutrient. An NPK value of 16-16-16 means that the fertilizer contains 16% nitrogen, 16% phosphorus, and 16% potassium. Among the sixteen elements required for the growth and development of any crop, N P K are the major nutrients.
