A Balanced fertilization
The law of minimum according to Liebig

Law of
minimum:
The element
which
is in shortest
supply
(in this case K)
limits the yield
(J.v.Liebig 1803-1873)

In a well balanced
fertilization the major
nutrients (Nitrogen,
Phosphor Potash)
must be available in
the right proportion,
but nevertheless
other nutrients like
Magnesium, Sulfur
and Calcium are
needed.

Nitrophoska Specialities

Practical and easy to use: One single product

contains ALL nutrients, which plants need.

Save for the crops: Contains nutrients in a well

balanced proportion: In this form it is guaranteed,
that plants have ALL needed elements in an
appropriate form available for their best
development.

Uniformity in the fertilization: Every granule

possesses ALL nutrients, which allows a
homogeneous fertilization.

Nitrophoska Specialities

Well balanced and well adjusted nutrients

which fit the necessities of intensive crops:
The formulation satisfies the demand of the major
crops during their different periods of development
(florisation, vegetative development and
fructification).

Contains equilibrial amounts of Nitrogen

(Nitrate and Amonium): about 50% of N is in the
nitrate form with a rapid action, and 50% is in the
amonium form, with its longer lasting effect.

Does not contain any Urea: Therefore

no losses of lessivation and evaporation

Enriched with MAGNESIUM: Derived

from Kieserit, which can be 100% assimilated.

Additionally contains, SULFUR and CALCIUM

Contains micronutrients: Iron, Zinc and

Boron

High solubility: all nutrients are easy to absorb,

included the dry conditions

Contains a minimum of Chlorine, therefore an effect of

salinization is very small. The high quality of potash
(Sulfate) used in Nitrophoska guarantees a chlorine
concentration below 1% (Conventional fertilizers like
15-15-15 MOP contains chlorine concentration of
about 13%)
