EBS NPK 13:40:13 is a 100% water-soluble fertilizer containing 13% Nitrogen, 40% Phosphorus, and 13% Potassium. It is a high-phosphorus grade specifically designed for use during the early growth, flowering, and fruit-setting stages when the crop's demand for phosphorus is at its highest. The high phosphorus content stimulates root development, promotes early and uniform flowering, reduces flower drop, and improves fruit setting and yield. The balanced Nitrogen and Potassium content supports healthy vegetative growth and improves the crop's resistance to environmental stress. EBS NPK 13:40:13 fertilizer dissolves completely in water and is suitable for drip irrigation, foliar spray, and hydroponics across all major crops.

How To Use EBS NPK 13:40:13 — Application Instructions:
Weigh the required quantity of EBS NPK 13:40:13 accurately using a clean, dry measuring scale or spoon.
Dissolve completely in a small volume of clean water first — this grade dissolves quickly without leaving any residue.
Pour the dissolved solution into the sprayer tank or fertigation system and fill to the required volume with remaining clean water.
Stir or agitate well until completely uniform before beginning application.
For foliar spray, apply evenly across all leaf surfaces from top to bottom, paying attention to younger leaves where phosphorus demand is highest.
For drip fertigation, inject the dissolved solution into the drip system during the active irrigation cycle.
Never mix directly with calcium or magnesium fertilizers — always dissolve separately and add to the tank independently.
Best Time to Apply:
For foliar spray, apply NPK 13:40:13 fertilizer in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool. For drip fertigation, apply during the morning irrigation cycle for best root zone absorption.
Frequency of Application & Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply 13:40:13 fertilizer every 10 to 15 days from early growth through the flowering and fruit-setting stage. Two to three applications per crop cycle give the best results for root development, flowering, and fruit set.
Re-Entry Period: Safe to re-enter treated areas as soon as the spray has completely dried on plant surfaces.
Compatibility: NPK 13:40:13 fertilizer is compatible with all water-soluble fertilizers except calcium and magnesium-based products. Always dissolve separately before combining in the tank. Confirm compatibility with a jar test before mixing.
Safety Precautions & Handling:
Wear gloves and goggles while measuring and handling this product.
Never eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Wash all exposed skin with soap and water after finishing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) — EBS NPK 13:40:13:
Q1. What is EBS NPK 13:40:13 fertilizer used for?
Promotes root development, stimulates early and uniform flowering, reduces flower drop, improves fruit setting and yield, and enhances overall crop quality across Grapes, Pomegranate, Tomato, Chilli, Cotton, Banana, Onion, Sugarcane, and all fertigated crops.
Q2. When should I apply EBS NPK 13:40:13 for best results?
Apply from early growth stages through the flowering and fruit-setting stage at 10 to 15 day intervals. This is the period when phosphorus demand is at its highest — strong root development and abundant flowering during this window directly determine final yield per acre.
Q3. How is EBS NPK 13:40:13 different from NPK 12:61:00?
NPK 12:61:00 has a much higher phosphorus content (61%) for maximum root and flowering boost — ideal when phosphorus is the primary requirement. NPK 13:40:13 has a more balanced ratio with equal Nitrogen and Potassium alongside high Phosphorus — better suited for crops that need support across all three nutrients during the flowering and fruit-setting stage simultaneously.
Q4. Can I mix EBS NPK 13:40:13 with calcium fertilizers?
No — NPK 13:40:13 reacts with calcium and magnesium-based fertilizers in the spray tank, causing precipitation that can block drip emitters. Always dissolve and apply separately, never in the same tank as calcium or magnesium products.
Q5. Is EBS NPK 13:40:13 suitable for drip irrigation?
Yes — EBS NPK 13:40:13 fertilizer dissolves completely and quickly in water without any residue, making it fully suitable for drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, and hydroponic growing setups.
