Chemical Fertilizers

The term “chemical fertilizer” refers to any number of synthetic compound substances created specifically to increase crop yield. Some chemical fertilizers, for example, are “nitrogenous” — containing nitrogen — while others are phosphate-based. Other fertilizers are potassium, zinc, calcium sulphur manganese etc

Complex (or blended) chemical fertilizers often contain a mix of ammonium phosphate, nitro phosphate, potassium, and other nutrients.

As you learn about the importance of fertilizer, it’s important to note that the right chemical fertilizer for you depends on the climate and the type of crop you’re growing — check with a  Fruit Growers Supply Company  in your area for more information.
