NPK Fertilizer

Before purchasing an NPK Fertilizer it would be a good idea to consult a technician for advice on the best product to purchase. It should also be considered that NPK fertilisers are often sold with added trace elements, such as calcium, zinc, sulphur, iron or boron. In this way, a more complete and balanced nutrition can be provided..

When you are preparing to fertilise your field, you must always have a strategy that translates into a fertilisation recipe, which describes the type of fertiliser to be used, the dose, the time of use and the needs of the crop.

The fertilisation recipe is influenced by the type of soil, the macro-nutrients removed from the previous crop, those immobilised or dispersed in the past year, the crop being fertilised, its phenological stage and the farm’s objectives. These calculations are not always easy. To avoid problems of under- or over-dosing, or inefficient wastage of resources, it is always a good idea to consult a technician.
