PlantNPK.
The standard sequence for nitrogen, available phosphate, and soluble potash figures on many fertilizer labels.
What it means for your plants
These figures describe percentages by weight under fertilizer reporting conventions. Compare products at their instructed dilution rather than treating larger numbers as a quality score.
IN PRACTICE
A concentrated product may have higher numbers but require much more dilution than a ready-to-use feed.
Put it into practice
Decode nitrogen, phosphate, and potash on fertilizer labels and learn why concentration, dilution, and micronutrients matter.
