NPK 12:11:18 (SOP)

It contains basic macroelements: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), enriched with secondary elements magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) and microelements, such as: boron (B), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe).

What makes the formulation special is potassium (K) in sulfate form (SOP), which is an excellent solution for all plant species that are sensitive to chlorine (Cl).

It is used in the intensive production of highly profitable plant species.

What does NPK 12:11:18 (SOP) contain?

The uniform ratio of nutrients in each granule and the high accessibility of nutrient elements enable easy uptake and uniform growth of plants.

NITROGEN (N) total 12%
Ammoniacal nitrogen 12%
PHOSPHORUS PENTOXIDE (P2O5) soluble in NAC and in water 11%
Phosphorus(V)oxide (P2O5) water-soluble 11%
POTASSIUM OXIDE (K2O) water-soluble 18%
Magnesium oxide (MgO) total 2%
Sulfur (S) water-soluble 15%
Boron (B) total 0,01%
Zinc (Zn) total 0,02%
Trace elements Fe, Mn

By applying 12:11:18 + 2% MgO + 15% S +0,01% B + 0,02% Zn + Te (SOP) formulation you enable additional secondary macro- and microelements to complete plant nutrition, ensuring high yields and exceptional product quality

Zašto primeniti NPK 12:11:18 (SOP)?

  • More efficient nitrogen (N) in ammoniacal form
  • Phosphorous (P) component with high water solubility
  • Potassium (K) in the form of sulfate (SOP)
  • The presence of sulfur (S) affects protein synthesis, stimulates the enzymatic activity of plants, affects nitrogen metabolism and contributes to a greater tolerance of crops to adverse environmental conditions
  • Magnesium (Mg) plays a key role in the synthesis of chlorophyll, protein, pectin and affects the uptake and movement of phosphorus (P) in the plant
  • The presence of microelements boron (B) and zinc (Zn), as well as iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) in traces, is necessary for the development of key physiological processes in plants that affect the final quality and yield

Complex mineral fertilizer of top quality Supreme NPK 12:11:18

Grapevine

Grape vines belong to the group of plants that have an increased need for potassium (K) as one of the basic elements.

Apple

When fertilizing young plants, it is important to provide harmonious nutrition, so that the plants develop properly and grow until full fruit bearing, and special emphasis should be given to nitrogen (N) in these early stages.

Potato

For the successful production of potatoes, the balance of mineral nutrients in the soil is very important. High yields cannot be achieved on plots where certain mineral elements are missing

Raspberry

Raspberry is a plant that requires the most potassium (K) during flowering, fruit formation and fruit development. Therefore, fruit bearing raspberry plantations need to be fertilized every year with NPK fertilizers that have an emphasis on potassium (K).

Onion

From the point of view of applying nutrients to onions, the greatest needs are in potassium (K) and nitrogen (N), and slightly less in phosphorus (P), therefore, accordingly, you should choose formulations that have an emphasis on potassium (K) and that contain sulfur (S)

Strawberry

Strawberries, like raspberries, require the most potassium (K) during flowering, fruit formation and fruit development, and they need to be fertilized with formulations that emphasize this very element.

Garlic

Intensive production and good yields of garlic require timely and high-quality execution of all agrotechnical measures. The needs of garlic in nutrients are mostly related to nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) and somewhat less to phosphorus (P).

Blueberry

During the exploitation period, blueberries require the application of mineral fertilizers with an emphasis on potassium (K). The fact that blueberry belongs to the group of plants sensitive to chlorine (Cl), indicates the need to use potassium in sulfate form.

Watermelon

Increased requirements for potassium (K) also determine the choice of formulation that should be applied in the production of watermelons.

Sour cherry

In the phase before planting sour cherry trees, potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) should be introduced in sufficient quantities based on agrochemical analyses. While by applying basic fertilizers in the fruit bearing period, we maintain their nutrient content in the soil.

Webinar – Tobacco fertilization technology

Fertilizers with a lower or no nitrogen (N) content, with an optimal phosphorus (P) content and a higher potassium (K) content showed excellent results in tobacco fertilization.

Webinar – Potato fertilization technology

With its root system and tubers, potatoes leave the soil loose and clear of weeds, so it is a very good prerequisite for many crops

Webinar – Tomato fertilization technology

Tomato is a perennial plant in its natural habitat, but it is grown as an annual

Webinar – Paprika fertilization technology

Due to its economic importance and its use in human nutrition, paprika is now grown all over the world

Webinar – Raspberry fertilization technology

Intensive and modern raspberry production involves a series of agrotechnical measures, of which fertilization is one of the most complex.
