How NPK 20-20-20 Provides Balanced Nutrition for Optimal Crop Growth
Technical Introduction
NPK 20-20-20 is a water-soluble, balanced fertilizer containing 20% nitrogen (N), 20% phosphorus (P₂O₅), and 20% potassium (K₂O).
It is designed to supply all three primary macronutrients simultaneously, supporting vegetative growth, root development, and fruit/flower formation.
Its high solubility makes it suitable for fertigation, foliar feeding, and hydroponic systems.
