NPK 18-18-05 is a high-nitrogen and phosphorus granular fertilizer (18% each) with lower potassium (5%), optimized for early-stage crop development where strong roots and vegetative growth are prioritized, such as in young orchards, vegetables like tomatoes, and grains. Nitrogen drives rapid leaf expansion, phosphorus fosters robust root systems and flowering, while potassium provides basic support for overall vitality. The granular application ensures targeted release, minimizing waste and promoting efficient uptake, often resulting in quicker establishment and higher early yields. It enhances soil health by replenishing depleted nutrients, especially in phosphorus-poor soils, and supports oil and sugar formation in fruits.

Apply 150-300 lbs per acre banded or incorporated at planting. Its formula is ideal for general use, improving plant structure and reducing susceptibility to lodging. In agricultural settings, it encourages balanced nutrition, leading to improved fruit set and quality. Safe for most crops with low burn risk when used as directed.
