Agriculture is the fundamental pillar of national food security. In recent decades, this sector has faced increasingly complex pressures. One of the main challenges is how to improve the efficiency of land, water, and agricultural input utilization—while ensuring high and quality yields.

Factors such as climate change, soil degradation, limited agricultural land, and the continuous growth of the population have added urgency to the need for innovative and sustainable solutions. In such conditions, choosing the right fertilizer becomes a key to success.

Fertilizers are one of the vital components in the agricultural system. Efficient use of fertilizers that aligns with plant needs can promote optimal growth, improve soil fertility, and increase productivity. Not all fertilizers are equally effective, especially when it comes to efficiency and crop yield challenges.

To meet these needs, Pupuk Indonesia presents an innovative product called Nitroku, the first nitrate-based NPK fertilizer in Indonesia, specially formulated to meet plant nutritional requirements during both vegetative and generative phases.

Nitroku is an NPK fertilizer containing 5% nitrate nitrogen (N-NO₃), produced in the first nitrate-based NPK fertilizer plant in Indonesia. It contains major nutrients such as Nitrogen (15%), Phosphorus (13%), Potassium (18%), and essential micronutrients like Boron (B), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn). The nitrate content in this fertilizer allows plant nutrients to be absorbed faster by roots compared to other nitrogen forms.

Nitroku is specially designed to provide complete nutrition needed by horticultural crops, such as shallots and red chili, resulting in more abundant and higher-quality yields. Its key advantages include:

• 5% nitrate-form nitrogen (N-NO₃) that is rapidly absorbed by roots, accelerating plant growth.

• Contains essential cation nutrients such as Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and important micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) that enhance plant resistance to diseases and environmental stress.

• Promotes overall plant health with a balanced and complete nutrient formula.

• Supports sustainable crop productivity.

As a state-owned enterprise playing a strategic role in national food security, Pupuk Indonesia continuously innovates to provide fertilizers that address modern agricultural challenges. One of its newest initiatives is the development of nitrate-based NPK fertilizers, which are expected to become a game changer in boosting national agricultural productivity.

The main goals of this formulation include:

• Increasing national agricultural productivity by providing high-quality fertilizers that enhance crop yield and efficiency.

• Supporting national food security by ensuring the availability of premium fertilizers across Indonesia, especially in high-demand regions.

• Reducing dependency on conventional fertilizers.

• Enhancing the competitiveness of Indonesian agricultural products.

This nitrate-based NPK development is driven by research and technology, tailored to the specific needs of various commodities and agro-climatic zones across Indonesia.

Pupuk Indonesia understands that the success of the national agricultural sector cannot be separated from the well-being of farmers. Therefore, every product innovation focuses not only on technology but also on accessibility, affordability, and sustainability of supply.

In developing nitrate-based NPK fertilizer, Pupuk Indonesia collaborates with research institutions, universities, local governments, and farmer communities to ensure the formula truly addresses field conditions.

Moreover, Pupuk Indonesia has conducted numerous demonstration plots (demplot) across agricultural regions to directly show farmers the effectiveness of nitrate-based NPK fertilizers. Extensive training and education programs are also conducted to equip farmers with proper knowledge on the correct use of this fertilizer.

With this strong commitment, Pupuk Indonesia is determined to make farmers its primary partners in building a competitive and modern agricultural sector.
