✅ Uses of NPK 19:19:19

1️⃣ General plant growth

• Provides all three primary nutrients in equal amounts.

• Suitable during vegetative growth, flowering, and fruit setting.

2️⃣ Foliar spray & drip irrigation

• Commonly used in hydroponics, greenhouse crops, vegetables, flowers, and fruits.

• Can be sprayed on leaves or applied via fertigation (through irrigation water).

3️⃣ Corrects nutrient deficiencies

• Rapidly supplies nutrients if plants show general deficiency symptoms (yellowing, poor growth).

4️⃣ Boosts yield and quality

• Enhances flowering, fruit setting, and fruit size when applied at key stages.

5️⃣ For all crops

• Used for cereals, pulses, vegetables, fruits, spices, flowers, and ornamentals.

💡 When and how to use

• Dose for foliar spray: Typically 0.5% to 1% solution (5–10g per litre of water).

• Dose for fertigation: 1–2 kg per acre per application (depending on crop and stage).

• Apply during morning or evening to avoid leaf burn.

• Repeat at intervals based on crop need (commonly every 10–15 days).

⚠️ Precautions

• Avoid overdose — can cause leaf burn or salt stress.

• Always dissolve completely in water before spraying.

• Do not mix with strong acidic or alkaline solutions.
