The Difference Between Blended NPK and Single-Colour Specialized NPK Fertilizer

Date

Following traditional farming practices, many farmers still choose to mix straight fertilizers by hand. However, in line with today's trend of industrialization and modernization, specialized NPK fertilizers pre-blended with modern machinery are increasingly popular.

So how does a single-colour specialized fertilizer actually perform on rice compared with hand-mixed straight fertilizers? Join Viet Nga Fertilizer in exploring the answer in the article below!

1. What Is 3-Colour Blended NPK Fertilizer?

Hand-blended NPK fertilizer is made by mixing straight fertilizers, usually nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc., without any chemical combination between them, and it usually comes in several colours.

Traditionally, farmers buy three fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphate and potash) and mix them according to a reference formula or their own experience before applying.

However, fertilizer manufacturers today also produce blended NPK in large volumes using modern machinery, and each factory has its own formula with different secondary and micronutrient (TE) additives. For example, opaque white granules are 46% nitrogen, pink or dark red granules are 60% potash (K2O), and black, green, yellow or brown granules are DAP containing nitrogen (18%) and 46% phosphate (P2O5), etc.

2. What Is Single-Colour Specialized NPK Fertilizer?

Single-colour NPK is a compound fertilizer containing all the nutrients, balanced by the manufacturer according to the needs of each crop. Every granule contains nitrogen, phosphate, potash and secondary and micronutrients (TE), as declared on the company's packaging.

The ingredients are thoroughly mixed and liquefied (or chemically combined) and then blended again into granules that are uniform in their NPK ratio.

Depending on crop and market needs, manufacturers blend fertilizers in a variety of N-P-K ratios. Viet Nga Fertilizer currently offers many pre-blended NPK and single-colour specialized NPK products such as NPK 20-15-7+TE, NPK 15-7-20+TE, NPK 20-15-5+TE, NPK 15-5-20+TE, etc.

Single-colour specialized fertilizer granules integrate all the nutrients, meeting the needs of the crop.

3. The Outstanding Effectiveness of Single-Colour Specialized NPK Fertilizer

Because the macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphate, potash) and the secondary and micronutrients are evenly integrated in each granule, no mixing is needed; farmers only need to adjust the rate according to the actual growth of the rice crop. It also avoids uneven nutrient distribution across different areas of the field.

Results on rice: sturdy plants, thick leaves, reduced lodging and stronger resistance to pests and diseases, which saves money on pesticides. In addition, thanks to its versatility and balanced nutrition, it can be used on many types of crops.

According to actual results, Viet Nga Fertilizer's single-colour specialized fertilizer sets have delivered outstanding results in demonstration models. Please see the following video.

Based on soil conditions, rice variety and weather, farmers should choose the fertilizer that best suits their needs. We wish you productive farming, a bountiful harvest and good prices!
