NPK 11:11:8 Fortified with Zinc & Boron (Suspension):
NPK 11:11:8 Fortified with Zinc & Boron is a concentrated liquid suspension fertilizer designed to provide a balanced supply of primary macronutrients—Nitrogen (11%), Phosphorus (11%), and Potassium (8%)—along with essential micronutrients Zinc and Boron. Unlike water-soluble powders that can precipitate, this advanced suspension formulation uses "Super Chelation" technology to ensure all nutrients remain stable, fully available, and are rapidly absorbed by the plant. It is specifically engineered to address hidden hunger in crops during critical growth stages, ensuring vigorous vegetative growth while priming the plant for reproductive success.
Mode of Action:
This product functions through a multi-pronged approach to support plant physiology:
Rapid Absorption & Translocation: The suspension formula has a low salt index and high compatibility with plant cells, allowing for immediate uptake through stomata and root hairs.
Enzymatic Activation (Zinc): The fortified Zinc acts as a catalyst for auxin production (growth hormone) and chlorophyll synthesis, preventing stunted growth and leaf chlorosis (yellowing).
Reproductive Regulation (Boron): Boron is critical for pollen tube growth and sugar transport. Its presence in this formula ensures successful pollination, reduced flower drop, and better fruit setting.
Stress Resistance (Potassium): The Potassium component regulates stomatal opening and water retention, strengthening the plant against heat, drought, and disease stress.
Primary Uses and Target Crops:
This fertilizer is a versatile "all-rounder" suitable for boosting yield and quality across a wide range of crops.
Key target crops include:
Cereals: Rice (Paddy), Wheat, Maize, Sorghum
Vegetables: Tomato, Chili, Brinjal, Potato, Onion, Okra
Fruit Crops: Mango, Banana, Citrus, Pomegranate, Grapes, Papaya
Commercial Crops: Cotton, Sugarcane, Tobacco
Pulses & Oilseeds: Soybean, Groundnut, Gram, Mustard
Application and Dosage:
NPK 11:11:8 is suitable for Foliar Spray and Drip Irrigation (Fertigation).
The recommended dosage varies by application method:
Foliar Spray: Dissolve 2 to 3 ml per liter of water.
Vegetative Stage: Apply to boost branching and greenness (active tillering).
Pre-Flowering: Apply 15-20 days before flowering to ensure uniform bud formation.
Fruit/Grain Filling: Apply to improve weight and quality of the produce.
Fertigation (Drip): Apply 500 ml to 1 liter per acre.
Excellent for correcting acute deficiencies quickly through the root zone.
General Mixing Rate: A standard foliar dose is 400 to 500 ml per acre in sufficient water (approx. 150-200 liters).
Target Benefits / Deficiency Correction:
This product targets general nutrient imbalance and specific reproductive failures.
Key benefits include:
Balanced Nutrition: Prevents the "hidden hunger" of multiple nutrients simultaneously (N, P, K, Zn, B).
Flower & Fruit Retention: Drastically reduces flower abortion and immature fruit drop due to the synergistic action of Boron and Zinc.
Quality Enhancement: Increases the protein content in grains and the sugar content (Brix) in fruits.
Drought Tolerance: Helps crops withstand dry spells better by optimizing water use efficiency.
Cost-Effective: Combines macro and micro-nutrients in one bottle, reducing the need for multiple separate sprays.
Safety Precautions:
Standard safety practices for liquid fertilizers should be followed.
Key safety recommendations include:
Shake Well: This is a suspension product; shake the bottle vigorously before opening to ensure the nutrients are evenly mixed.
Compatibility: It is generally compatible with most pesticides and fungicides. However, avoid mixing with highly alkaline products (like Bordeaux mixture) or calcium-heavy fertilizers. Always perform a jar test first.
Application Time: Spray during the early morning or late evening to avoid evaporation and leaf burn.
Handling: Wear protective gear (gloves/mask) to avoid skin contact. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Storage:
Store the product in its original container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat, as high temperatures may affect the suspension stability. Keep the bottle cap tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
