NPK 18.18.18

What is NPK 18.18.18 + TE?

A balanced water-soluble fertilizer containing the three major elements in equal ratios: 18% nitrogen, 18% phosphorus, and 18% potassium, with added micronutrients (TE) such as iron, zinc, manganese, copper, boron, and molybdenum. It gives the plant complete nutrition at every stage of its growth.

The Role of Each Element

• Nitrogen (N): Activates leaf and stem growth and gives the plant its green color.
• Phosphorus (P): Strengthens roots and supports flower and fruit formation.
• Potassium (K): Improves fruit quality, size, and taste, and strengthens the plant against heat, thirst, and diseases.
• Micronutrients (TE): Treat leaf yellowing and weak growth resulting from a deficiency of iron, zinc, and manganese, which is a common problem in Kuwait's alkaline soil.

Benefits

• Balanced nutrition suitable for all growth stages, from seedling to fruiting.
• Boosts root and leaf growth and supports flowering and fruiting.
• Dissolves quickly and completely in water, so the plant absorbs it quickly.
• Prevents and treats symptoms of micronutrient deficiency such as yellowing of leaves between the veins.
• Increases the plant's ability to tolerate heat and stress.
• Suitable for vegetables, fruits, flowers, trees, grass, and indoor plants.

Method of Use

• With irrigation water: Dissolve the required amount in water well, then water the soil around the plant with it.
• With a drip system: Dissolve the fertilizer in the fertilizer tank and use it with the irrigation water.
• Spraying on leaves: Dissolve the amount in the spray water and spray the leaves on both sides until wet.
• Repeat use every 7 to 14 days during the growing season.

Quantities

• Indoor plants and pots: 1 gram per liter of water.
• Vegetables, flowers, and trees with irrigation: 1 to 2 grams per liter of water.
• Spraying on leaves: 0.5 to 1 gram per liter of water.
• Farms with drip irrigation: 3 to 5 kilos per 1000 square meters each time.

Start with the smaller amount for small plants and new seedlings, and increase it gradually as the plant grows. A level teaspoon equals approximately 5 grams.

Important Tips

• Do not exceed the specified amount, because excess burns the roots and leaves.
• Water the plant with plain water first if the soil is very dry, then use the fertilizer.
• Spray the leaves early in the morning or after sunset, and avoid spraying during heat and strong sun.
• Do not mix it in one concentrated solution with fertilizers containing calcium.
• For the best result, use it with a soil improver such as humic acid.

Storage and Safety

• Store in a dry, cool place away from sun and moisture, closing the container well after each use.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Avoid contact with eyes, and wash your hands after use.
