NPK 24-8-7 — Maximum-Nitrogen Compound NPK
Among standard compound NPK grades, 24-8-7 pushes the highest nitrogen analysis while retaining enough P and K for balanced early nutrition. Designed for irrigated wheat and cotton systems where split N application is limited by water availability or labour constraints. From 1,000 MT.

Irrigated Systems
Single application at planting delivers 48–60 kg N/ha from 200–250 kg/ha product rate — covering 40–50% of total N demand for 6 t/ha wheat. Remaining N applied as urea through irrigation water or top-dress before heading.
FAQ
Why not use straight urea instead of 24-8-7?
24-8-7 delivers P and K alongside N in one field pass — critical where application windows are narrow due to weather or where equipment availability limits multiple passes.
Does 24% N increase volatilization losses?
Volatilization depends on N form within the granule, not total N percentage. Most 24-8-7 uses ammonium and nitrate forms with lower volatilization risk than straight urea broadcast on alkaline soils.
Can 24-8-7 be used on rice?
Suitable for dry-seeded rice at pre-plant. Transplanted rice in flooded conditions benefits from split N application — use 24-8-7 at basal and urea at panicle initiation.
