    The document discusses three macro nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen promotes plant growth and healthy green leaves. Phosphorus helps with plant growth, root development, and fruit production. Potassium is needed for photosynthesis, nutrient absorption, and makes plants strong and sturdy. The document also provides information on deficiency symptoms of each nutrient and notes that it is better to under-fertilize than over-fertilize with chemical fertilizers.

    -FLOWERS ARE FEW AND DROPPING

    -DISCOLORATION OF LEAVES

    -LEATHERY LEAVES

    POTASSIUM

    -POTASH (0-0-60)

    SIGNS OF DEFECIENCY:

    - THIN TRUNKS AND STEMS


    - CHLOROSIS- YELLOWING LEAVES- EDGES-
    - SHEDDING OF LEAVES
    - SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISEASES

    NOTE:

    FOR BEGINNERS WHEN IT COMES TO CHEMICAL FERTILIZER IT IS BETTER TO UNDER FERTILIZE THAN TO OVER
    FERTILIZE

    :IN ORGANIC FERTILIZER, IT IS COMPLETE WITH MACRO AND MICRO NUTRIENTS. NO OVER DOSE

    EXAMPLE VERMICAST: CONTAINS N- 1.89%, P-2.49%, K- 1.40%
