Product overview — NP 20-20
NP 20-20 price per ton is a staple enquiry for spring cereal, maize and sunflower programmes where early root development and tillering depend on both N and P from emergence. The equal 20-20 ratio provides balanced nutrition at planting — the classic starter blend when soil tests show equal N and P demand.
Apply at 100–200 kg/ha banded below the seed row at planting, or broadcast pre-plant and incorporate. Winter wheat and rape benefit from autumn seeding application, providing phosphorus for root establishment before dormancy and nitrogen for early spring tillering.
NP 20-20 suits soils with moderate phosphorus levels where DAP's 46% P2O5 would oversupply P. The compound granule ensures each placement point receives both nutrients, improving uniformity versus separate urea and TSP passes. HS code 3105.51. From 1,000 MT.

FAQ — NP 20-20
When is NP 20-20 preferred over DAP as a starter fertilizer?
NP 20-20 suits soils with moderate phosphorus levels where DAP's 46% P2O5 would oversupply P. The balanced ratio simplifies application planning when soil tests show equal N and P demand at planting.
Can NP 20-20 be used for autumn-sown crops?
Yes. Winter wheat and rape benefit from NP 20-20 applied at seeding, providing phosphorus for root establishment before winter dormancy and nitrogen for early spring tillering.
How does NP 20-20 compare to applying urea and TSP separately?
The compound granule ensures each placement point receives both N and P, improving nutrient distribution uniformity versus separate spreading passes with different products.
