• P (Phosphorus) - 3%: Phosphorus supports strong root development and is crucial for flowering and fruiting. It aids in energy transfer and the formation of DNA and RNA, helping plants establish quickly and thrive.

• K (Potassium) - 3%: Potassium plays a vital role in overall plant health by regulating various processes, including water uptake, nutrient transport, and photosynthesis. It enhances disease resistance and improves the quality of fruits and flowers.
