Fertilizer

General Information

Materials or mixtures used in agriculture and horticulture to increase the nutrients available to cultivated plants are referred to as fertilizers. In most cases, the use of fertilizer results in higher yields or faster growth.
In many soils, deficiencies of the primary nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) limit plant growth. In order to make up for these deficiencies, fertilizers are used to fulfill the requirements of the particular crop. The nutrients can be applied individually (single-nutrient fertilizers) or in mixtures. Fertilizers that contain nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium are called NPK fertilizers or compound fertilizers. In addition to the primary nutrients, plants also require trace elements such as sulfur, calcium and magnesium, which are either contained in a particular fertilizer or can be applied as special trace element fertilizers.
