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

Common chemicals used in fertilizers include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These are typically derived from sources such as ammonia, phosphoric acid, and potassium chloride. Other minerals like magnesium, sulfur, and calcium may also be included in fertilizers to improve plant growth.

Answer 4

Most fertilizers contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

Nitrate, ammonium, potassium and phosphate (= NAPP)

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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