NPK 05:55:17 is a high-phosphorus starter grade for the early weeks of the crop. The heavy phosphorus load drives root initiation and establishment, the small nitrogen fraction keeps early growth moving, and the potassium supports the transition into flowering.
Fully water soluble and chloride-free — suitable for drip, sprinkler and foliar application on transplanted and direct-sown crops alike.
