MIXED FERTILIZERS –
DEFINITION, PREPARATION, AND
COMPATIBILITY

MIXED FERTILIZERS
₪ A mixture of more than one straight fertilizer which can supply
more than one plant nutrient element.
₪ Present day statistics show that numerous grades of fertilizers
mixtures are manufactured and the fertilizer mixing industry is
being considered as one of the major agro- industry.
NPK 16:16:16
Advantages
₪ All the three major plant nutrients are made available in one and
the same material.
₪ Saving of time and labour.
₪ Residual effects will not be there.
₪ Mixed fertilizer are prepared to suit a group
of crops and soils.
Disadvantages
₪ Deficiency of individual nutrient elements cannot be satisfied
₪ The use of mixed fertilizer in specific needs will be a waste as other
nutrients are also added to the soil.
₪ Cost of mixed fertilizers is higher than straight fertilizers.
₪ Improper mixing and storage of fertilizers can result in large
nutrient losses.
Incompatibility With
Fertilizers
₪ Urea should not be mixed with calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN),
KCl, SSP or TSP.
₪ Mixtures containing urea should be applied immediately after
mixing.
₪ Do not store fertilizer mixtures containing urea.
₪ Ammonium phosphates {(NH4)3PO4} and super phosphates should
not be mixed with lime, slag, rock phosphate or CAN.
₪ Potassium chloride and sulfate of potash can be mixed with most fertilizers,
but mixtures of these fertilizers with urea and calcium ammonium nitrate
should not be stored.
₪ CAN should not be mixed with basic slag but can be mixed with urea, SSP
, and ammonium phosphates immediately prior to application.
Preparation of mixed fertilizers
₪ Many kinds of materials used in the manufacture of fertilizer mixtures are
found to be highly varying in their properties.
₪ Limited no of materials are being used like (NH4)2SO4, CO(NH2)2 ,
Super phosphate, ammonium phosphate, muriate of potash, limestone,
gypsum and some fillers.
₪ Manufacture of fertilizer mixtures involves the weighing and proportioning
of ingredients that are used, sieving and sizing of the various ingredients,
mixing the different materials and packing.
₪ All the above operations are done both mechanically and by hand
operation.
To determine the amount of individual fertilizer in a mixture, the quantity is
calculated as follows.
(Percentage of plant nutrient desired x (Weight of final
mixture) in the mixture)
Quantity =
(The Percentage of the plant nutrient in the straight
fertilizer)
A = R x T / P
Where,
R = Percentage in the mixture
T = Final weight of the mixture
P = Percentage in the straight fertilizer.
Changes that occur while manufacturing…
₪ Fertilizer mixtures vary widely in their physical and chemical
characteristics.
Physical Changes :
1. Hygroscopicity
₪ Substance which absorbs moisture from air and gets converted to
semi- solid or liquid condition.
Eg : Ca(NO3)2 , NH4NO3 , NaNO3 and CO(NH2)2.
2. Caking up
₪ Moisture present in some of the ingredients is responsible for caking
up.
₪ Moisture dissolves the easily soluble ingredients and forms a saturated
solution.
₪ This saturated solution on evaporation gives out crystals which knit
together forming larger lumps.
₪ The caking up can be prevented by materials called as ‘conditioners’,
₪ Commonly used conditioners are groundnut hulls, lime, clay etc.
3. Segregation
₪ Separation of different sized particles individually.
₪ When ingredients of different sizes and densities are included there will be
the tendency for the segregation.
₪ Granulation is conveniently followed.
Chemical Changes
1. Double decomposition
₪ Ca(H2 PO4 ) 2 + (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 CaSO 4 + 2 NH 4 H 2 PO 4
₪ NH 4 NO 3 + KCl NH 4 Cl + KNO 3
₪ (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 + 2 KCl 2 NH 4 Cl + K 2 SO 4
Which may have different physical and chemical properties.
2. Neutralization
₪ H 2 PO 4 + NH 3 NH 4 H 2 PO 4
₪ 2H 3 PO 4 + CaCO 3 Ca (H 3 PO 4 ) 2 + H 2 CO 3
Free acids present in some of the fertilizers are neutralized by alkalis.
3. Hydration
₪ CaSO 4 + 2H 2 O CaSO 4 .2 H 2 O
₪ Ca HPO 4 + 2H 2 O CaHPO 4 . 2 H 2 O
Tying up of water by the anhydrous form of salts is called hydration
4. Decomposition
₪ CO(NH2)2 + H2O2 NH3 + CO2
₪ (NH4)2 HPO4 NH4H2PO4 + NH3
Break down in the composition of molecules forming new compounds.

MIXED FERTILIZERS ₪ A mixture of more than one straight fertilizer which can supply more than one plant nutrient element. ₪ Present day statistics show that numerous grades of fertilizers mixtures are manufactured and the fertilizer mixing industry is being considered as one of the major agro- industry. NPK 16:16:16
  • 3. Advantages ₪ All the three major plant nutrients are made available in one and the same material. ₪ Saving of time and labour. ₪ Residual effects will not be there. ₪ Mixed fertilizer are prepared to suit a group of crops and soils.
  • 4. Disadvantages ₪ Deficiency of individual nutrient elements cannot be satisfied ₪ The use of mixed fertilizer in specific needs will be a waste as other nutrients are also added to the soil. ₪ Cost of mixed fertilizers is higher than straight fertilizers. ₪ Improper mixing and storage of fertilizers can result in large nutrient losses.
  • 5. Incompatibility With Fertilizers ₪ Urea should not be mixed with calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), KCl, SSP or TSP. ₪ Mixtures containing urea should be applied immediately after mixing. ₪ Do not store fertilizer mixtures containing urea. ₪ Ammonium phosphates {(NH4)3PO4} and super phosphates should not be mixed with lime, slag, rock phosphate or CAN.
  • 6. ₪ Potassium chloride and sulfate of potash can be mixed with most fertilizers, but mixtures of these fertilizers with urea and calcium ammonium nitrate should not be stored. ₪ CAN should not be mixed with basic slag but can be mixed with urea, SSP , and ammonium phosphates immediately prior to application.
  • 7. Preparation of mixed fertilizers ₪ Many kinds of materials used in the manufacture of fertilizer mixtures are found to be highly varying in their properties. ₪ Limited no of materials are being used like (NH4)2SO4, CO(NH2)2 , Super phosphate, ammonium phosphate, muriate of potash, limestone, gypsum and some fillers. ₪ Manufacture of fertilizer mixtures involves the weighing and proportioning of ingredients that are used, sieving and sizing of the various ingredients, mixing the different materials and packing. ₪ All the above operations are done both mechanically and by hand operation.
  • 8. To determine the amount of individual fertilizer in a mixture, the quantity is calculated as follows. (Percentage of plant nutrient desired x (Weight of final mixture) in the mixture) Quantity = (The Percentage of the plant nutrient in the straight fertilizer) A = R x T / P Where, R = Percentage in the mixture T = Final weight of the mixture P = Percentage in the straight fertilizer.
  • 9. Changes that occur while manufacturing… ₪ Fertilizer mixtures vary widely in their physical and chemical characteristics. Physical Changes : 1. Hygroscopicity ₪ Substance which absorbs moisture from air and gets converted to semi- solid or liquid condition. Eg : Ca(NO3)2 , NH4NO3 , NaNO3 and CO(NH2)2. 2. Caking up ₪ Moisture present in some of the ingredients is responsible for caking up.
  • 10. ₪ Moisture dissolves the easily soluble ingredients and forms a saturated solution. ₪ This saturated solution on evaporation gives out crystals which knit together forming larger lumps. ₪ The caking up can be prevented by materials called as ‘conditioners’, ₪ Commonly used conditioners are groundnut hulls, lime, clay etc. 3. Segregation ₪ Separation of different sized particles individually. ₪ When ingredients of different sizes and densities are included there will be the tendency for the segregation. ₪ Granulation is conveniently followed.
  • 11. Chemical Changes 1. Double decomposition ₪ Ca(H2 PO4 ) 2 + (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 CaSO 4 + 2 NH 4 H 2 PO 4 ₪ NH 4 NO 3 + KCl NH 4 Cl + KNO 3 ₪ (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 + 2 KCl 2 NH 4 Cl + K 2 SO 4 Which may have different physical and chemical properties. 2. Neutralization ₪ H 2 PO 4 + NH 3 NH 4 H 2 PO 4 ₪ 2H 3 PO 4 + CaCO 3 Ca (H 3 PO 4 ) 2 + H 2 CO 3 Free acids present in some of the fertilizers are neutralized by alkalis.
  • 12. 3. Hydration ₪ CaSO 4 + 2H 2 O CaSO 4 .2 H 2 O ₪ Ca HPO 4 + 2H 2 O CaHPO 4 . 2 H 2 O Tying up of water by the anhydrous form of salts is called hydration 4. Decomposition ₪ CO(NH2)2 + H2O2 NH3 + CO2 ₪ (NH4)2 HPO4 NH4H2PO4 + NH3 Break down in the composition of molecules forming new compounds.
