Agro Fertilizer Chemicals

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that provide the foundational nutrients of today's commercial fertilizers are termed as ‘The Big 3’ of fertilizers.

Not all fertilizers are toxic. There are numerous companies which manufacture and sell non-toxic fertilizers. Using it nourishes your plants and at the same time does not harm the soil too.

NPK refers to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are the primary nutrients in agricultural fertilizers. Also referred to as the Big 3 in agricultural fertilizers, each of these fundamental nutrients plays a key role in plant nutrition with nitrogen considered to be the most important nutrient.

Application process of fertilizers depends on the crop being cultivated, the condition of the soil and availability of water. The first way is to broadcast the fertilizer on to the ground before planting. The soil is then tilled or watered and the fertilizer is absorbed by the soil. The second way is by broadcasting the fertilizer on growing plants and then watering them into the soil.

The most commonly used agro fertilizers are nitrogen fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizers with inhibitors, phosphorus fertilizers, potassium fertilizers, calcium, magnesium and sulphur fertilizers, micronutrient fertilizers and inhibitors.

Fertilizers are inorganic substances manufactured in factories which are very rich in plant nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. They enrich the soil by providing organic substances and nutrients. Meanwhile manure is an organic substance that is obtained from decomposition of vegetables and animal waste. Manure too is equally effective to enrich the soil and most importantly has no harmful effects on humans.

The main benefits of using agro fertilizer chemicals are: they are quick in providing plant nutrients and restoring soil fertility, easy to transport because they are highly portable, plants easily absorb agro fertilizer chemicals, and also agro fertilizer chemicals improve and increase the productivity of many commercial farming.
