N Nitrogen is essential to plant growth as it helps to build protoplasm, protein and other components of plant cells. Used for the development of stems and promoting leafy growth.
P Phosphorus (Phosphate P2O5) is important in the ripening of fruits and the germination of seeds. Phosphates are also associated with root development.
K Potassium (Potash K2O) is essential for good flower and fruit development. Especially beneficial to the marrow family, tomatoes, soft fruit and flowers.
