Nutri-Leaf 20-20-20 is a balanced, water-soluble American fertilizer from Miller containing 20% nitrogen, 20% phosphorus and 20% potassium, providing complete major-nutrient nutrition through the different growth stages. Nitrogen supports chlorophyll formation and leaf and stem growth; phosphorus supports root growth and energy transfer within the plant; and potassium regulates vital processes, fruit formation and water-use efficiency. Its fast-dissolving formula is suitable for foliar spraying and drip fertigation according to the directions, and it can be used on vegetables, cereals, alfalfa, fruit trees and ornamental plants. It helps support balanced growth and maintain the plant's nutritional status when used within a fertilization program suited to the crop's needs.
Key Features
- Balanced major nutrients: supplies nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in equal 20-20-20 proportions to meet plant needs through the growth stages.
- Boosts vegetative growth: nitrogen supports chlorophyll and protein formation, promoting leaf and stem growth and plant vigor.
- Supports root growth: provides the phosphorus needed for energy transfer and root development, especially during establishment and growth.
- Supports flowering and fruiting: phosphorus and potassium contribute to flowering, fruit formation and fruit growth under suitable conditions.
- Improves water-use efficiency: potassium helps regulate stomatal opening and closing and the plant's water balance.
- For spraying and fertigation: fully water-soluble, suitable for foliar feeding and drip fertigation programs at the recommended rates.

Directions for Use
- Protected vegetables – foliar spray: 2–3 g per liter of water (2–3 kg in 1000 liters of water per hectare); repeat every 10–15 days as the crop requires.
- Greenhouses – fertigation: 0.5–1 kg per 500 m² through the fertigation system; repeat every 10 days according to the nutrition program.
- Open-field vegetables: 2–3 g per liter of water (2–3 kg in 1000 liters of water per hectare) as a foliar spray; repeat every 20 days.
- Wheat: 2.5 g per liter of water (2.5 kg in 1000 liters of water per hectare) as a foliar spray, twice per season.
- Barley: 2.5 g per liter of water (2.5 kg in 1000 liters of water per hectare) as a foliar spray, once per season.
- Alfalfa: 2.5 g per liter of water (2.5 kg in 1000 liters of water per hectare) as a foliar spray, once.
- Ornamental plants: 2–3 g per liter of water (2–3 kg in 1000 liters of water per hectare) as a foliar spray every 15 days.
- Fruit trees: 2–3 g per liter of water (2–3 kg in 1000 liters of water per hectare) as a foliar spray every 10 days.
- Note: the foliar rates are tied to the spray volume and area stated on the label. The fertigation rate is area-based and should not be converted to a fixed per-liter concentration without knowing the irrigation water volume.
Precautions
- Follow the rate specified for each crop and avoid higher concentrations without a confirmed nutritional need.
- Do not mix with fertilizers or products containing calcium, copper or sulfur, as per the label.
- Avoid foliar spraying in high heat or strong sunlight to reduce the risk of leaf stress.
- Dissolve the fertilizer completely and make sure the solution is uniform before spraying or injecting into the fertigation system.
- Perform a compatibility (jar) test before use, especially when mixing with other fertilizers or products.
- Store in a dry place away from moisture and rain, at no more than 45 °C, with the pack closed and out of reach of children.
Orkida Tip
- To get the most from Nutri-Leaf 20-20-20, use it at stages when the plant needs balanced major nutrients, taking crop condition and growth stage into account. For foliar spraying, choose early morning or mild temperatures and cover the leaves evenly without raising the concentration. When using it through drip irrigation, calculate the rate by planted area and crop needs, and follow your base fertilization program to avoid nutrient excess or imbalance.
