TUTORIAL ON HOW TO APPLY NPK FERTILIZER 10.10.10 NPK 10x10x10 is a type of chemical fertilizer that plays a fundamental role in any type of plantation and culture. Due to the low level of nutrients available naturally in Brazilian soils, complementary fertilization is essential for plants to develop strong and healthy. For those who aim for productivity and quality, NPK 10x10x10 fertilizer can be an excellent maintenance strategy for crop nutrition. However, it is important to highlight that when it comes to fertilizers, the difference between medicine and poison is the dose. Fractional NPK fertilizer from the Heringer brand What is NPK? NPK is the acronym used to describe a chemical formula of fertilizer that is highly common in crops, vegetable gardens and gardens. This formula is composed of the main macronutrients essential for plants, Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). These three elements are responsible for vital functions and productivity indices of greatest interest to rural producers: • Nitrogen: nitrogen acts in the development of shoots and leaves, in addition to being decisive for the growth and development of roots. By offering a balanced formula for plants, they are able to absorb nitrogen at the beginning of the cycle and store the nutrient for release in the growth phases. As the main symptom of a lack of nitrogen, plants have yellowed older leaves and plants with a lower chlorophyll content. • Phosphorus: phosphorus is responsible for stimulating the productive phases of plants, such as flowering and fruiting, as well as stimulating root growth. Therefore, this nutrient has a great impact on crop productivity, not only due to the production of fruits itself but also due to the plant's absorption of other essential nutrients. Phosphorus also plays a role in the maturation of fruits and seeds, and must be at ideal levels during all plant cycles. As the main symptoms of deficiency, plants demonstrate reduced growth and dark coloring of leaves, in abnormal green or purple tones. • Potassium: potassium is an extremely important element for the structural part of plants. In addition to strengthening plant tissues, this nutrient helps in the formation of tubers and rhizomes. Due to its strengthening action, potassium helps make plants more resistant to pest attacks, temperatures or drought. When there is a deficiency of this element, plants may experience atrophy, reduced growth, low fruit production and greater sensitivity to diseases and pests.
