Plant fertilizers are generally added to soils to provide an additional supply of the primary macronutrients (and in some cases to add micronutrients). Plant fertilizer Plant fertilizers represent the amount of primary macronutrients with a 3 number label, often referred to as the N-P-K value. The N-P-K value is the mass percent of Nitrogen, the mass percent of phosphorus (in the form P:O) and the mass percent of potassium (in the form K,0') in the fertilizer. In Figure 2-1:A fertilizer with the NPK figure 2-1, a bottle of value of 12-55-6 which indicates that the Green light SuperBloomâ¢ fertilizer loom is shown and we see the the fertilizer is composed of 12% N, 55% P,01, and 6% K,0. Adapted from Solomon, S, Lee A, Bates D. J. Chem. Ed. 70, 1993, 410-412 The reason that phosphorus is expressed as P,0, and potassium is expressed as K,O is because in earlier quality control studies of fertillzer, scientists would do gravimetric analyses after igniting samples and then measure the oxdized components of the fertilizer, P:0s and K,o.
