Don't Miss Out. These are NPK values. The three numbers on fertilizer represent the value of three beneficial macronutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The higher the number, the more concentrated the nutrient is in the fertilizer. All plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to grow. Without enough of any one of these nutrients, a plant will fail. Nitrogen N — nitrogen is largely responsible for the growth of leaves on the plant. Phosphorus P — Phosphorus is largely responsible for root growth and flower and fruit development.
Potassium K — Potassium is a nutrient that helps the overall functions of the plant perform correctly. Knowing the NPK values of a fertilizer can help you select one that is appropriate for the type of plant you are growing. For example, if you are growing leafy vegetables, you may want to apply a fertilizer that has a higher nitrogen number to encourage leafy growth. If you are growing flowers, you may want to apply a fertilizer that has a higher phosphorus number to encourage more blooms.
The higher nitrogen levels are responsible for fast, green growth. Typically, this fertilizer is applied in smaller quantities than other types of manure. There are several uses for Bat dung:.
