Need our Help in selecting the right products from IOA’s Product basket.

You can choose the right product if you know the plant requirements during different stages of their life cycle.

What is NPK?

Any plant need NPK (N:Nitrogen, P: Phosporus, K: Potassium) as a major nutrients which you can consider foods to grow , flower and product fruit.

It is time to feed plants and plant need some plant food which is called fertilizer.

Most packages of fertilizer show the letters NPK followed by some numbers, for example: NPK 10-5-5.

NPK stands for nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium which are three of the most important nutrients required by plants.

The numbers following NPK are the percent amounts of each nutrient.

An NPK value of 10-5-5 means that the fertilizer contains 10% nitrogen, 5% phosphorus and 5% potassium.

Plant growth and NPK requirement –

Plant growth stage can be divided into two stages :

• Vegetative Stage
• Reproductive Stage

1. Vegetative Stage –

The period of growth between germination and flowering is known as the vegetative phase of plant development. In this stage maximum growth of plant takes place.

Nutrient requires during this stage is mainly Nitrogen.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND CRUCIAL STAGE OF PLANT WHICH DETERMINES THE FUTURE FLOWERING AND FRUITING.

First and foremost, During the soil preparation before plantation you add OGD18 to your soil and mix it properly, it helps to make the soil healthy. Now, Put the soil in direct sunlight for 4-7 days before plantation.

Now, you need to add OGD2 or OGD5 at the time of plantation till the flowering. You can also use OGD7 which is the generic organic fertilizer which can be used in any stages. you need to put fertilizer at every 15 days interval for maximum benefits and healthy growth. Furthermore. you can spray OGD13 or OGD14 Or OGD15 in every 15 days (From plantation to the end of fruiting/Flowering) interval to avoid the pest attack and keep the plant safe from diseases.

Additionally, During the watering you should put few drops of OGD19 in your water and then irrigate, it keeps the plant root healthy.

Product You need at the time of plantation : OGD2 or OGD5, OGD18, OGD13 and OGD19

2. Reproductive Stage –

This stage starts from flowering. In this stage flowering and fruiting takes place.

It can be divided into two categories –

Flowering Stage – Plant needs Phosphorus as a major nutrient in this stage.

When you see your plant has grown sufficiently and it will soon start forming the buds, now it is the right time to put OGD1 or OGD4. It maximizes the number of buds and flowers.

you need to put fertilizer at every 15 days interval for maximum benefits and a greater number of flowers. Furthermore. you can spray OGD13 or OGD14 Or OGD15 in every 15 days (From plantation to the end of fruiting/Flowering) interval to avoid the pest attack and keep the plant safe from diseases.

Additionally, During the watering you should put few drops of OGD19 in your water and then irrigate, it keeps the plant root healthy.

Product you need at the time of flowering : OGD1 or OGD4, OGD14 and OGD19

Fruiting Stage- Plant needs Potassium as a major nutrient in this stage.

When you see your plant has greater numbers of flower, now it is the right time to put OGD3 or OGD6. It maximizes the number of conversions from flowers to fruits.

you need to put fertilizer at every 15 days interval for maximum benefits and a greater number of flowers. Furthermore. you can spray OGD13 or OGD14 Or OGD15 in every 15 days (From plantation to the end of fruiting/Flowering) interval to avoid the pest attack and keep the plant safe from diseases.

Additionally, During the watering you should put few drops of OGD19 in your water and then irrigate, it keeps the plant root healthy.

VERY IMPORTANT: This is the stage where both flowering and fruiting are taking place. Hence, both Phosphorus and Potassium are required.

So, you need to put OGD1 and OGD3 alternatively in every 15 days. This will help to balance both phosphorus and potassium.

Product You need at the time of flowering and Fruiting : OGD1 or OGD4, OGD3 Or OGD6, OGD15 and OGD19
