What are the chemicals that are used to make fertilizer?

Answer 1

Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potash with a variety of other trace elements and metals. This is also know as the analysis. Look on a box of 'Miracle Gro' the next time you are at the store. You'll see 3 numbers together, they represent the % of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, & Potash. (Urea is a form of a nitrogen rich fertilizer made from synthesizing ammonia -- which is a gas -- with carbon dioxide; another commonly used form of nitrogen fertilizer, especially in the US, is anhydrous ammonia.)

The 'chemical' fertilisers contain the same chemicals as in 'natural' fertilisers. It's just a bit more convenient to sprinkle in the 'chemical' ones than digging in a wheelbarrow load of manure!

Answer II

Different chemical fertilizer have different chemicals as Urea , DAP contains di ammonium phosphate and so on .

Answer 2

There are almost limitless compounds in use as fertilisers or raw materials for fertiliser manufacture. The major plant nutrients are nitogen N - mostly as nitrate or ammonium salts, made from atmospheric nitrogen, phosphorus P - mostly from phosphate rock, which is mostly bird droppings, and potassium K - mostly from various minerals (rocks).

Answer 3

Most fertilizers contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.

Answer 4

It depends on the specific type, but chemical fertilizers often contain ammonium nitrate and/or phosphates.

Answer 5

Nitrate, ammonium, potassium and phosphate (= NAPP)

Answer 6

Fertilizers contain Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium i in various different forms.

Answer 7

The most important components are nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous, calcium and some microelements.
