Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO
Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO is a balanced compound fertilizer formulated to supply crops with essential nutrients needed for healthy vegetative growth, strong root development, flowering, fruit formation, and improved crop quality.
Its nutrient formulation contains 12% Nitrogen (N), 12% Phosphorus (P), 17% Potassium (K), and 2% Magnesium Oxide (MgO). The relatively higher potassium content makes it particularly suitable for crops at stages where flowering, fruit development, tuber formation, and overall crop quality are important.
Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO can be used across a wide range of field crops, vegetables, fruit crops, plantation crops, and other commercially cultivated crops, subject to soil nutrient requirements and recommended agronomic practices.

Nutrient Composition
Nitrogen (N) – 12%
Nitrogen supports healthy vegetative development and is important for the formation of leaves, stems, proteins, and chlorophyll. Adequate nitrogen nutrition contributes to vigorous crop growth and healthy green foliage.
Phosphorus (P) – 12%
Phosphorus supports early crop establishment, strong root development, energy transfer within the plant, flowering, and reproductive development.
Potassium (K) – 17%
Potassium plays an important role in crop quality, water regulation, carbohydrate movement, fruit development, and plant resilience. The higher potassium content of this fertilizer makes it useful for crops with significant fruit, seed, root, or tuber development requirements.
Magnesium Oxide (MgO) – 2%
Magnesium is an essential component of chlorophyll and contributes to photosynthesis and overall plant metabolism. Adequate magnesium helps crops maintain healthy green leaves and efficient nutrient utilization.
Benefits of Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO
Promotes Vigorous Crop Growth
The nitrogen content supports vegetative growth and healthy leaf development, particularly during important crop development stages.
Encourages Strong Root Development
Phosphorus assists in the establishment of strong and functional root systems, helping crops access water and nutrients from the soil.
Supports Flowering and Fruit Formation
The phosphorus and potassium combination supports reproductive development, including flowering, fruit formation, and seed development.
Improves Crop Quality
Potassium contributes to several processes associated with crop quality, including fruit development, carbohydrate movement, water balance, and plant strength.
Supports Photosynthesis
The added magnesium helps maintain chlorophyll production and efficient photosynthesis, allowing plants to convert sunlight into energy for growth.
Provides Multiple Nutrients in One Application
Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO supplies four important plant nutrients in a single fertilizer application, making crop nutrition management more convenient.
Suitable Crops
Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO may be suitable for crops such as:
- Maize
- Rice

- Yam
- Potato
- Tomato
- Pepper
- Cucumber
- Watermelon
- Okra
- Plantain
- Banana
- Citrus
- Pineapple
- Oil palm
- Cocoa
- Vegetables
- Fruit crops
- Root and tuber crops
- Other field and plantation crops
Actual fertilizer requirements vary according to crop type, soil fertility, location, growth stage, previous fertilizer use, and expected yield.
How to Apply Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO
Apply according to the fertilizer recommendation for the specific crop and soil conditions.
Depending on the crop and production system, the fertilizer may be applied using methods such as:
- Band application
- Side placement or side dressing
- Spot application
- Ring application around established plants
- Broadcast application where agronomically appropriate
Avoid placing concentrated fertilizer directly against seeds, young stems, or plant roots, as excessive fertilizer concentration may cause damage.
For best results, conduct a soil test or follow the recommendation of a qualified agronomist or agricultural extension professional before determining the application rate.
Application Tips
- Apply to moist soil where possible.
- Apply at the recommended crop growth stage.
- Avoid excessive application.
- Keep fertilizer slightly away from the plant stem.
- Cover appropriately with soil when the recommended application method requires it.
- Irrigate after application where necessary and where rainfall is insufficient.
- Combine fertilizer application with good weed, pest, disease, and water management practices.
Why Choose Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO?
Golden Fertilizer NPK 12-12-17 + 2% MgO offers farmers a convenient source of essential nutrients for crop development. Its combination of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium supports multiple stages of plant growth, from root development and vegetative establishment to flowering and crop formation.
The comparatively higher potassium concentration also makes the formulation useful where crop quality and reproductive development are important considerations.
Storage and Handling
- Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location.
- Keep the fertilizer protected from moisture and rain.
- Keep bags securely closed when not in use.
- Store away from food, animal feed, children, and animals.
- Avoid prolonged direct contact with the skin.
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
- Follow all safety and handling instructions provided on the manufacturer’s packaging.
Important Note
Fertilizer performance depends on several factors including crop type, soil fertility, soil pH, rainfall or irrigation, application rate, application timing, and general farm management practices.
For commercial production, soil testing and crop-specific fertilizer recommendations are strongly advised.
