Fertilizer – Definition-
Components and its
classification
Soil fertility and soil productivity
“Soil fertility is the ability of the soil to
supply essential plant nutrients during growth
period of the plants, without toxic
concentration of any nutrients”.
“the capacity of the soil to supply nutrient in
available form to crop”.
Soil fertility and soil productivity
“Soil productivity is the ability of the soil to
produce a particular crop or sequence of crops
under specified management system”
All productive soils are fertile but all fertile
soils need not be productive”
Fertilizer
• Fertilizer is any material of natural or synthetic
origin added to the soil to supply one or more
plant nutrients
• Usually fertilizers are inorganic in nature and
most of them are products of different
industries. (exceptions are urea and CaCN2 –
organic fertilizers)
Classification of Fertilizers
Fertilizers
Straight
Complex
Mixed
Classification of Fertilizers
Straight
fertilizers
• Supply only
one primary
plant nutrient
(N, P & K)
• Urea-N
• SSP
• MOP
Complex
fertilizers
• Contains two
or three
primary plant
nutrients
• Diammonium
phosphate (N,P)
• Mono
ammonium
phosphate
• Ammonium
phosphate
sulphate
Mixed
fertilizers
• Physical
mixtures of
straight
fertilizers
• They contain
two or three
primary plant
nutrients.
• 19:19:19 of
NPK
Fertilizer
Complete fertilizer
• Which contains all three major nutrients
(N, P & K)
Incomplete fertilizer
• Which lacks any one of the three major nutrients
Acid , Base and Neutral fertilizers
Fertilizer Grade
• Refer to minimum guarantee of the available plant
nutrients expressed as a percentage by weight in a
fertilizer in terms of total N, P2O5 , K2O (Complex /
Mixed) 12:32:16 grade of NPK complex fertilizer
Classificationn of Fertilizers
Nitrogen fertilizer
Fertilizer
Phosphatic fertilizers
• Phosphorus present in the phosphatic fertilizer
is usually expressed as phosphorus pentoxide
(P2O5)
• Phosphorus moves very slowly from the point
of placement
Water soluble
Mono-
calcium
phosphate
Citric acid
soluble
Di-calcium
phosphate
Citric acid (or)
water insoluble
Tri-calcium
phosphate
Classification of phosphatic fertilizers
Water
soluble
Single Super
Phosphate-16-18%-
Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O
Double super
phosphate- 32%
2Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O
Triple Super
Phosphate- 46-48%
3Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O
Citric acid
soluble
Di calcium
phosphate- 40%
CaHPO4
Basic slag- 13-18%
(CaO)3P2O5SiO2
Citric acid
insoluble
Rock
phosphate-
20-40%
Bone meal-
20-25%
*Rhenania phosphate- 26-28 %
Potassic fertilizers
S.No Name of fertilizers Composition K2O%
1 Fertilizers containing K in the chloride
form Eg. Muriate of potash
KCl 60
2 Fertilizers containing K in non chloride
form
Eg. Potassium sulphate/Sulphate of
potash
K2SO4 48-52
3 Potassium magnesium sulphate K2SO4, 2MgSO4 22
4 Potassium schoenite K2SO4,
2MgSO4.6H2O
22-24

  • 2. Soil fertility and soil productivity “Soil fertility is the ability of the soil to supply essential plant nutrients during growth period of the plants, without toxic concentration of any nutrients”. “the capacity of the soil to supply nutrient in available form to crop”.
  • 3. Soil fertility and soil productivity “Soil productivity is the ability of the soil to produce a particular crop or sequence of crops under specified management system” All productive soils are fertile but all fertile soils need not be productive”
  • 4. Fertilizer • Fertilizer is any material of natural or synthetic origin added to the soil to supply one or more plant nutrients • Usually fertilizers are inorganic in nature and most of them are products of different industries. (exceptions are urea and CaCN2 – organic fertilizers)
  • 6. Classification of Fertilizers Straight fertilizers • Supply only one primary plant nutrient (N, P & K) • Urea-N • SSP • MOP Complex fertilizers • Contains two or three primary plant nutrients • Diammonium phosphate (N,P) • Mono ammonium phosphate • Ammonium phosphate sulphate Mixed fertilizers • Physical mixtures of straight fertilizers • They contain two or three primary plant nutrients. • 19:19:19 of NPK
  • 7. Fertilizer Complete fertilizer • Which contains all three major nutrients (N, P & K) Incomplete fertilizer • Which lacks any one of the three major nutrients Acid , Base and Neutral fertilizers Fertilizer Grade • Refer to minimum guarantee of the available plant nutrients expressed as a percentage by weight in a fertilizer in terms of total N, P2O5 , K2O (Complex / Mixed) 12:32:16 grade of NPK complex fertilizer
  • 11. Phosphatic fertilizers • Phosphorus present in the phosphatic fertilizer is usually expressed as phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) • Phosphorus moves very slowly from the point of placement Water soluble Mono- calcium phosphate Citric acid soluble Di-calcium phosphate Citric acid (or) water insoluble Tri-calcium phosphate
  • 12. Classification of phosphatic fertilizers Water soluble Single Super Phosphate-16-18%- Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O Double super phosphate- 32% 2Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O Triple Super Phosphate- 46-48% 3Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O Citric acid soluble Di calcium phosphate- 40% CaHPO4 Basic slag- 13-18% (CaO)3P2O5SiO2 Citric acid insoluble Rock phosphate- 20-40% Bone meal- 20-25% *Rhenania phosphate- 26-28 %
  • 13. Potassic fertilizers S.No Name of fertilizers Composition K2O% 1 Fertilizers containing K in the chloride form Eg. Muriate of potash KCl 60 2 Fertilizers containing K in non chloride form Eg. Potassium sulphate/Sulphate of potash K2SO4 48-52 3 Potassium magnesium sulphate K2SO4, 2MgSO4 22 4 Potassium schoenite K2SO4, 2MgSO4.6H2O 22-24
