Fertilizer is actually the food of plants. Humans, animals and plants rely on a safe, healthy supply of food and nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for proper growth and development.
Fertilizer is the food that plants need to produce a healthy and bountiful crop. Experts estimate that without commercial fertilizers, the world would be without one-third of its food supply.
There are two types of fertilizer one is synthetic and second is naturals.
Dry fertilizer can be both – naturals and synthetic .
In natural dry fertilizer manure, slurry, worm castings, peat, seaweed and guano. Green manure crops are also grown to add nutrients to the soil.
In synthatic, urea, uria formaldihide etc.
The fertilizers use in agriculture a horticulture.
In general, agricultural fertilizers contain only one or two macronutrients. Agricultural fertilizers are intended to be applied infrequently and normally prior to or along side seeding. Examples of agricultural fertilizers are granular triple super phosphate, potassium chloride, urea, and anhydrous ammonia.
The commodity nature of fertilizer, combined with the high cost of shipping, leads to use of locally available materials or those from the closest cheapest source, which may vary with factors affecting transportation by rail, ship, or truck. In other words, a particular nitrogen source may be very popular in one part of the country while another is very popular in another geographic region only due to factors unrelated to agronomic concerns.
Horticultural or specialty fertilizers, on the other hand, are formulated from many of the same compounds and some others to produce well-balanced fertilizers that also contain micronutrients. Some materials, such as ammonium nitrate, are used minimally in large scale production farming.
The 18-51-20 example above is a horticultural fertilizer formulated with high phosphorus to promote bloom development in ornamental flowers. Horticultural fertilizers may be water-soluble (instant release) or relatively insoluble (controlled release).
Controlled release fertilizers are also referred to as sustained release or timed release. Many controlled release fertilizers are intended to be applied approximately every 3-6 months, depending on watering, growth rates, and other conditions, whereas water-soluble fertilizers must be applied at least every 1-2 weeks and can be applied as often as every watering if sufficiently dilute.
Unlike agricultural fertilizers, horticultural fertilizers are marketed directly to consumers and become part of retail product distribution lines.
Fertilizer composition is expressed in this fashion for historical reasons in the way it was analyzed (conversion to ash for P and K); this practice dates back to Justus von Liebig.
Consequently, an 18-51-20 fertilizer would have 18% nitrogen as N, 51% phosphorus as P2O5, and 20% potassium as K2O, The other 11%is known as ballast and has no value to the plants.Although analyses are no longer carried out by ashing first, the naming convention remains. If nitrogen is the main element, they are often described as nitrogen fertilizers.
