DAP vs. NPK – Which Fertilizer is Best for Your Crop?
#1
The secret to bumper harvests? Root boost from DAP + balance from NPK. Here is how it goes:

   

DAP (18-46-0)
1. Very rich in phosphorus (P).
2. phosphorus is the fuel for early root development and energy transfer (ATP).
3. When seedlings have strong roots, they can drink water and nutrients better → giving you uniform and vigorous early growth.

That’s why farmers often use DAP at planting time.

NPK Blends (eg 20 10 10, 15 15 15)
1. Supply all three: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K).
2. Nitrogen makes crops lush and green.
3. Phosphorus keeps roots and flowering strong.
4. Potassium builds resistance against drought, pests, and diseases.

Best used once crops are well established and need balanced nutrition.

The Smart Combo
1. Start your crop with DAP for strong roots.
2. Follow up with NPK for balanced growth and yield.

This way, your plants get the early boost and the long-term strength they need.
Healthy roots + balanced feeding = higher yields
