Name
NPK 08-08-08 (Water Soluble Balanced Fertilizer)
Description NPK 08-08-08 is a meticulously balanced, water-soluble fertilizer specifically formulated to provide comprehensive nutrition for your sugarcane crop at crucial growth stages. This unique formulation delivers equal proportions of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), along with essential micronutrients, ensuring a synchronized and robust development from germination to maturation. The inherent balance of NPK 08-08-08 is vital for the intense nutrient demands of sugarcane, supporting vigorous vegetative growth, strong root systems, and optimal sugar accumulation.
Specification
  • Total Nitrogen (N): 8.0% min. (Ammoniacal and/or Nitrate forms)
  • Available Phosphorus (P2O5): 8.0% min.
  • Water Soluble Potash (K2O): 8.0% min.
  • Appearance: Crystalline powder or liquid
  • Water Solubility: 100%
  • pH (1% solution): Typically 3.5-6.5
  • Trace Elements: May include chelated micronutrients like Sulphur, Zinc, Boron, Iron, Manganese, Copper, etc. (Check specific product label).
Benefits
  • Balanced Growth at All Stages: NPK 08-08-08 provides a perfect equilibrium of primary nutrients, promoting uniform growth throughout the sugarcane lifecycle, from early tillering to grand growth.
  • Enhanced Root Development: The balanced phosphorus content in NPK 08-08-08 is crucial for developing a strong and extensive root system, enabling the sugarcane plant to efficiently absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
  • Vigorous Vegetative Growth: Nitrogen and phosphorus collectively encourage robust shoot development, increased tillering, and healthy leaf expansion, which are vital for biomass accumulation in sugarcane.
  • Improved Stalk Strength & Tonnage: Potassium, a key component of NPK 08-08-08, contributes significantly to stalk strength, reducing lodging and supporting higher tonnage.
  • Optimized Sugar Content (Brix): Adequate potassium supply, as provided by NPK 08-08-08, is essential for efficient sucrose formation and translocation within the sugarcane plant, directly impacting juice quality and sugar recovery.
  • Increased Stress Resistance: The balanced nutrition from NPK 08-08-08 helps sugarcane plants build stronger resistance against various environmental stresses like drought, disease, and insect attacks.
  • Higher Yield Potential: By ensuring optimal nutrient availability and plant health, the application of NPK 08-08-08 translates into higher cane yields and improved overall productivity.
Application NPK 08-08-08 is primarily recommended for application through water-based systems due to its high solubility.

  • Foliar Spray: Dissolve the recommended quantity in water and spray uniformly onto the foliage. This allows for rapid nutrient uptake, especially during critical growth phases or nutrient deficiency correction.
  • Drip Irrigation (Fertigation): This method ensures efficient and precise delivery of NPK 08-08-08 directly to the root zone, minimizing waste and maximizing nutrient availability.
  • Soil Drench: Apply the dissolved solution directly around the base of the sugarcane plants, particularly for early establishment.

Application Rate (General Guideline for Sugarcane, always consult product label):

  • Foliar Spray: 5-10 ml or 5-10 grams per liter of water. Apply at appropriate intervals (e.g., every 15-20 days) depending on crop needs and growth stage.
  • Drip Irrigation: 2-5 kg per acre, applied in splits throughout the growing season.
Time
  • Early Growth Stages (Tillering to Early Grand Growth): This is a critical period for establishing a strong foundation. Application of NPK 08-08-08 during these stages promotes excellent tillering and vegetative development.
  • Mid-Season (Grand Growth Stage): Continue application to support rapid stalk elongation and biomass accumulation.
  • Pre-Monsoon & Post-Monsoon: Strategic applications can help sugarcane cope with seasonal stress and leverage favorable growth conditions.
  • Ratoon Crop: To boost regeneration and vigorous growth after harvesting the plant crop.
Precaution
  • Always follow the manufacturer’s specific dosage and application instructions provided on the product label. These are tailored to the specific formulation and purity of the product.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly sealed.
  • Compatibility: While generally compatible with most fertilizers and pesticides, always conduct a small-scale jar test before mixing NPK 08-08-08 with other agrochemicals to ensure no adverse reactions.
  • Application Timing: For foliar sprays, apply during the cooler parts of the day (early morning or late afternoon) to avoid rapid evaporation and maximize absorption.
  • Personal Protection: Wear appropriate protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, mask) during handling and application.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
Shelf Life Typically 2-3 years from the date of manufacturing when stored under recommended conditions in its original, unopened packaging.
Packaging
  • Standard bag size: 25 kg crafted bag with liner
  • Customizable as per client/manufacturer/trader requirement
