You need the right fertilizers applied in the right way, right quantities, and right time. We have both micro and macro-nutrients: Micro-nutrients are those nutrients which the plant requires in small quantities but are equally very important for good yields. Examples include boron, zinc, sulphur, magnesium, manganese, and calcium etc. Macro-nutrients are those nutrients which the plant requires in large quantities for them to grow strong, healthy and give you better yields. The examples include nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). This is commonly abbreviated as NPK. Let’s roll..!
