NPK 12-24-12

Description

Product Overview
NPK 12-24-12 is a high-concentration, balanced granular compound fertilizer formulated for professional agricultural and industrial-scale crop production. It delivers 12% nitrogen (N), 24% available phosphate (P2O5) and 12% soluble potassium (K2O) in a single, free-flowing granular matrix engineered for uniform nutrient release and precise application. The product’s primary value proposition is predictable, high-efficiency nutrient delivery that improves early vegetative vigor, root development and flowering/fruit set while reducing application complexity for large-scale operations. Strategically, NPK 12-24-12 is a cornerstone input for commercial row crops, horticulture and plantation systems where yield consistency, logistics efficiency and agronomic reliability determine profitability.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: 12% Total Nitrogen (N), 24% Phosphate (P2O5, water-soluble), 12% Potassium (K2O, water-soluble).

• Nitrogen form: Blend of ammoniacal and nitrate sources for rapid availability and uptake.

• Phosphate form: Water-soluble superphosphate-based fraction balanced for starter and early growth uptake.

• Potassium form: Soluble potassium chloride/potassium sulfate fraction (specify on contract).

• Secondary nutrients and microelements: Trace levels of sulfur (S) and optionally chelated micronutrients available on demand (Mn, Zn, Fe, B).

• Purity/grade: Industrial/agronomic grade, manufactured to meet international fertilizer quality standards (typical water-soluble nutrient assay tolerance ±1% absolute).

• Physical form: Uniform granules, free-flowing, dust-minimized.

• Particle size distribution: Typical granule size 2.0–4.0 mm (custom sizing available by order).

• Bulk density: 0.9–1.1 g/cm3 (dependent on granule size and formulation).

• Moisture content: ≤1.5% under standard storage conditions.

• pH (aqueous extract): Near-neutral to slightly acidic depending on phosphate source (specified on SDS).

• Packaging options: Bulk 20 MT MOB (BULK 20MT per order), jumbo bags (1,000 kg), 50 kg woven polypropylene bags, and customized industrial packaging on request.

• Shelf life/stability: Stable for 12–24 months when stored dry and protected from caking; recommended FIFO inventory rotation and moisture-controlled storage.

• Compliance & documentation: Supplied with Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and shipment phytosanitary and origin documentation as required.

Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Commercial agriculture (row crops such as maize, wheat, rice), large-scale horticulture (vegetables, fruits, ornamentals), plantation agriculture (oil palm, rubber, tea), and contract growers/agribusiness integrators.

• Operational use cases: Basal/starter fertilizer at planting to promote root development and early vigor; side-dressing in vegetative stages where balanced NPK support is required; blended into custom on-farm fertilizer mixes; mechanized bulk application via spreaders or fertigation (when dissolved according to solubility specifications).

• Performance vs alternatives: The 12-24-12 ratio provides a higher phosphate concentration versus N-lean blends, making it superior for starter applications and crops that require strong root and reproductive development. Uniform granule size ensures even distribution and consistent per-hectare nutrient dosing, reducing over-application hotspots and lowering crop variance risk. Compared with single-nutrient fertilizers, NPK 12-24-12 reduces handling complexity and application passes, cutting labor and machine time.

• Commercial relevance: Enables predictable crop response across large acreage, simplifies inventory and logistics for commercial buyers, and reduces risk of nutrient imbalance compared with improvised on-farm blends.

Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Manufactured under controlled industrial processes with batch-level CoA and tight assay tolerances to ensure repeatable agronomic performance.

• Supply reliability: Bulk production capability and committed allocation for long-term contracts; scalable production to meet seasonal demand peaks.

• Logistics capability: Available in 20 MT bulk loads and standard container-load packaging; expertise in container loading, fumigation handling and export documentation to major global ports.

• Price competitiveness: Economies of scale for bulk purchasers and volume-based pricing tiers; lower landed cost per nutrient unit compared with multiple single-nutrient purchases when factoring handling and application costs.

• Sustainability considerations: Options for reduced-chloride potassium formulation and low-dust granulation; storage-optimized packaging to reduce waste; supplier can provide traceability and origin documentation to support sustainability or procurement standards.

• Technical support: Agronomic guidance, application rate recommendations, CoA and SDS included; custom formulations and micronutrient fortification available by contract.

Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT per order.

• Typical container loading capacity: 20 FT container ≈ 20 MT bulk (loose) or 20–22 MT in jumbo bags depending on weight distribution; 40 FT container ≈ 24–26 MT in bulk or up to 24–25 MT in jumbo bags (confirm packing pattern).

• Lead times: Subject to order size and seasonal demand—standard lead time provided on inquiry and contract.

• Documentation: Supplied with CoA, SDS, commercial invoice, packing list, and export compliance documents as required.
