20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer

20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer Specification

Fully water-soluble, formulated for fertigation, injection and foliar programs. The declared analysis and supply detail for 20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer are set out below. A Certificate of Analysis is issued on request against the batch you actually receive.

Nutrient Content of 20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer

One tonne of 20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer supplies 200 kg of nitrogen (N), 200 kg of phosphate (P₂O₅) and 200 kg of potash (K₂O) — a total of 60 nutrient units per 100 kg.

Nutrient supplied at different rates

What one hectare actually receives at a given spreading rate of 20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer. Use it to work back from a nutrient target to a product rate.

Indicative conversion only. Set application rates against a current soil test and confirm them with a qualified agronomist.

Where NPK 20-20-20 Is Used

Fertigation through drip and sprinkler

The main use. Nutrient arrives at the root zone in the amount you choose, at the moment you choose, with no spreading pass and no waiting for rain to move it in.

Greenhouse and nursery production

Container growing gives a plant a tiny volume of media and no soil reserve to draw on, so nutrition has to come with the water. An even ratio is the standard maintenance feed.

Foliar feeding

For correcting a deficiency quickly or supporting a crop through a demanding stage. Foliar feeding supplements a fertiliser programme — it does not replace it, because leaves cannot take up the quantities roots can.

Hydroponics

As a base feed, adjusted with individual salts to the recipe the crop and the water analysis call for.

Transplant and establishment

Seedlings and transplants need all three major nutrients in small, available amounts while the root system develops.

Why Solubility Is the Whole Point

A granular fertiliser has to dissolve in soil moisture and move to the root before the plant sees any of it. A soluble fertiliser is already in solution when it arrives.

That buys you three things: timing — you feed at the growth stage that needs it, not weeks ahead; precision — rate is set by what you dissolve, not by what a spreader throws; and no blocked emitters, provided the product genuinely dissolves clear.

20-20-20 or a Granular Blend?

Most irrigated operations use both — a granular base at planting and soluble feed through the season. Send us the crop, the system and the water analysis and we will work out the split.

Packing and Quantities

20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer is supplied in bulk, in 1,000 kg and 500 kg bulka bags, and in 50 kg and 25 kg bags. Minimum order is 10–25 MT, depending on the product and the destination. Packing formats, 20ft container loading figures, and bagging and marking are set out in full on our Delivery & Freight page.

Handling and Storage

Store 20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer dry, off the ground and out of direct weather. Nitrogen and ammonium-based fertilisers draw moisture from the air and will cake if left exposed — full handling and storage guidance is on the Delivery & Freight page.

NPK 20-20-20 — Common Questions

What does 20-20-20 mean?

20% nitrogen, 20% phosphate as P₂O₅ and 20% potash as K₂O by weight. One kilogram supplies 200 g of each.

Will it block my drippers?

A fully soluble grade dissolves clear and leaves no residue. Blockages generally come from the water chemistry or from mixing incompatible products in a concentrated tank — not from the fertiliser alone. Have the water tested and jar-test any mix before it goes in the line.

How much do I dissolve?

It depends on the crop, the growth stage, the system and the water. There is no single figure worth publishing, and anyone who gives you one without asking about your setup is guessing. Tell us the crop and the system and we will work through it with you.

Can I use it as a foliar spray?

Yes, at low concentration. Spray in the cool of the day, never on a wilting crop, and test a small area first.

Does it contain trace elements?

The straight 20-20-20 analysis covers the three major nutrients only. Grades with trace elements added are available — ask when you enquire and we will confirm what we can supply.

20-20-20 Water soluble fertilizer Data Sheet

A Certificate of Analysis for your delivered batch and the Safety Data Sheet are both available on request. The analysis in the data sheet is the nominal specification; where a Certificate of Analysis is issued for a batch, that certificate governs.
