- Farmer 10-52-10 + TE is a high-phosphorus, water-soluble fertilizer with a concentrated formula of 10% nitrogen (N), 52% phosphorus (P₂O₅) and 10% potassium (K₂O). It is designed to give a strong phosphorus boost that activates the root system and increases nutrient-uptake efficiency during the critical early growth stages.
- The very high phosphorus content stimulates cell division and increases root spread and uptake capacity, which is reflected directly in plant strength and response to fertilization. It also prepares the plant for flowering and supports early fruit set when applied at the right time, while nitrogen and potassium provide a nutritional balance that prevents weak growth during use of the high-phosphorus formula.
- It also contains micronutrients that improve the efficiency of vital processes and reduce deficiency problems, especially in alkaline soils. It dissolves quickly and is easy to use in irrigation systems and foliar sprays.
Key Features:
- Very high phosphorus (52%) gives a strong boost to root activation and faster plant establishment.
- Increases nutrient uptake from the soil thanks to a stronger, wider root system.
- Supports flowering and early fruit set when used at the right time within a balanced fertilization program.
- Nitrogen and potassium provide nutritional balance and prevent weak growth during use.
- Fortified with micronutrients that improve vital processes and reduce deficiency symptoms.
- Ideal for weak or cold soils that need fast root activation at the start of growth.

Directions for Use:
- Foliar spray: 1–2 g per liter of water (100–200 g per 100 L); spray leaves to full wetness and repeat every 10–14 days depending on plant condition.
- Fertigation (drip / sprinkler): 2–4 kg per hectare per irrigation.
- Adjust the rate according to plant age and growth stage.
Suitable Crops:
- Vegetables (tomato, cucumber, pepper, eggplant): Right after transplanting to activate roots, and before flowering to support early fruit set.
- Field crops (wheat, barley, maize): At early growth to strengthen roots and improve uptake.
- Fruit trees (date palm, citrus, other fruit): At the start of the growing flush or before flowering to promote fruit set.
- Fodder (alfalfa, Rhodes grass): At establishment or after cutting to stimulate rooting and fast regrowth.
- Greenhouses: In the early stages of cultivation and before flowering, within a balanced program.
Orkida Tip:
- Use this fertilizer as a phosphorus boost at early growth or before flowering – not for long periods. After fruit set begins, switch to a high-potassium fertilizer to improve fruit size and quality.
Precautions:
- Do not mix with calcium nitrate or any calcium source in the same tank, to avoid precipitation.
- Do not use continuously or in late growth stages, to avoid nutrient imbalance.
- Avoid spraying in high heat or under direct sunlight.
- Do not exceed the recommended rates, to avoid plant stress.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
