Three groups of fertilizer materials \u2013 based on their ability to supply \u201cfertiliser elements - commonly used in Nigeria are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Nitrogen (N2) fertilizers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They come in 2 groups \u2013 organic and inorganic. However, because of its high cost, the organic nitrogen fertilizers have been largely replaced by the inorganic nitrogen fertilizers. Some of the common nitrogen fertilizers are Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3), Ammonium Sulphate \u2013 (NH4)2SO4, Urea, Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Phosphorous (P) fertilizers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Include the following: Rock phosphate, Single Super Phosphate (SSP), Triple Super Phosphate (TSP), Ammoniated Super Phosphate etc<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Potassium (K) fertilizers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Examples are Muriate of Potash (KCL), Potassium Sulphate (K2SO4), Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) etc<\/p>\n<p><strong>Micronutrient Fertilisers:<\/strong>\u00a0These include Copper Sulphate (CuSO4), Copper Carbonate (CuCO3), Copper Hydroxide \u2013 Cu (OH)2, Sodium Borate (Na2B4O7), Ferric Sulphate \u2013 Fe2(SO4)3, Sodium Molybdate \u2013 Na2MoO4<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mixed Fertilisers:<\/strong>\u00a0Fertilisers placed on the market contain at least 2 of the so called fertilizer elements (i.e. Nitrogen [N], Phosphorous [P], and Potasium [K]). One of them is \u201cIncomplete Fertiliser\u201d and the other is \u201cComplete Fertiliser\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When mixed fertilizer is not available, it is possible for the farmer to blend his own fertilizers to the required mixture, but to do this effectively or successfully, he must have a good idea of what his soil\u2019s nutrient requirements are.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Effects of Mixed Fertilisers on Soil Ph<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most complete fertilizers tend to deposit an acid residue in the soil. This is due to the influence of certain nitrogen carriers, especially those which supply ammonia (NH3) or which produce ammonia when added to the soil. The major effect of ammonium ion (NH4+) occurs when they are nitrified.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Request for the complete PDF :\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iff.spontaneousdevelopment.com\/contact-fert.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Click HERE...<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NB: This FREE report first became available in PDF format in my Self-Development Digest Newsletter, issue No. 72 of Mon 5th Mar 2012.
