Availibility of Individual NPK ferts?
Hey guys.
I need individual ferts of NPK. Most prolly in KNO3(Potassium nitrate), KH2PO4(Potassium Dihydropohosphate), KCl(Potassium Chloride) or KSO4 (Potassium sulphate). Or does someone sell NPK in ratio of 20:1:30 ratio?

Joria bazaar- Kachi gali. All are easily available.

One suggestion, would be instead of mixing or applying different products, there are granular fertilizers available which dissolve more slowly and come in various NPK ratings. They are available by local fert manufacturers, Fatima/Fauji/Engro. You can browse their products online, and read more about them.

Is NPK fertilizers available in 1 kg packing as well or one has to buy whole 25 kg bag? Which one would you all recommend for normal everyday use in a typical home garden something like all in one NPK.

I'd say buy the 25kg- although it depends on how much you use. If you have a few plants, 1 kg will go a long way. The 1 kg pack is basically a breakdown of the 25kg store owners pack themselves and sell at double the price.

S.Ahmed sb. In Joria bazaar they are available very cheaply and is basic market which supply all chemicals to Karachi including Pharmaceutical laboratories and Chemistry laboratories. They can give you chemicals as much as you want. In additions, these chemicals might not be available in other shops as its illegal to sell these chemicals unless you have a permits of such laboratories.S.Ahmed wrote:Which brand,which type would you all recommend for normal everyday use,is there an all in one type?

I need these to grow aquatic plants. Tbh I dont even need 20 N as long as I keep the tank with a heavy fish load. P on the other hand even at 1 will give my tank and unsightly algae outbreak. These are very new uncharted territories for land gardeners(dont know about hydroponic peeps). Individual ferts will allow me to have a better control at dosing.
I tried jodia bazaar long time ago abd the people there either didnt know the chemical names(idk the local name/urdu name) or didnt want to sell it to a kid.
Also do you guys know where i can get a trace mix? Preferably CSM+B?
