Nutrients in Fertilizers

Even in other plants, fertilizers are helpful. The nutrients found in fertilizers are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). These are the three main nutrients needed by plants to grow. Fertilizers are sold according to the ratio of these three nutrients.

The N-P-K fertilizer ratio could be in the form of 15-30-15 which means that there is 15% Nitrogen, 30% Phosphorus, 15% Potassium and the rest is inert material. Fertilizers are sold with different NPK ratio. So if you need a certain amount of nutrients, check the ratio so that it will best suit your needs.
