Abstract
Nutrient compositions for plant growth are disclosed. A nutrient composition includes primary macronutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, secondary macronutrients including calcium and sulfur. A nutrient composition may include micronutrients and additional secondary macronutrients, such as magnesium. Nutrient compositions including such nutrient sources exhibit advantageous plant growth. Hydroponic nutrient composition, water soluble powder, and plant growth mediums containing the nutrient composition, as well as methods of using the nutrient compositions, are further disclosed.
Claims16
A water-soluble powder comprising a nutrient composition for a hydroponic system, the nutrient composition comprising:
- a nitrogen source;
- a phosphorus source;
- a potassium source;
- a calcium source;
- and
- a sulfur source,
- wherein the nutrient composition has a nitrogen to phosphorus to potassium (NPK) ratio of 2.5:1:4.5 to 3.5:1:3.5;
- and
- wherein a ratio of a calcium concentration to a total nutrient concentration is in a range of 17% to 19%.
A nutrient composition for a hydroponic system, the nutrient composition, when diluted, comprising:
- one or more primary macronutrients at a concentration of 355 ppm to 440 ppm, wherein the one or more primary macronutrients comprise a nitrogen source, a phosphorus source, and a potassium source;
- and
- one or more secondary macronutrients at a concentration of 140 ppm to 235 ppm, wherein the one or more secondary macronutrients comprise a calcium source and a sulfur source;
- and
- wherein:
- the ratio of a calcium concentration to a total nutrient concentration is in a range of 17% to 19%.
