1. Urea: More than 90% of the world’s production is destined for use as a nitrogen-release fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in common use (46.7%).

2. Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP): It contains 46% P2O5 and 18% N. it is water soluble. It is a good source of P fertilizer for all crops. Good source for problem soils. Overall, it suits to about 90% soil of the country.

3. Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN): Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) contains 27 % N and 20 % of ground limestone. This has a rapid as well as permanent effect. The granulation of this fertilizer ensures a quick and exact dosing.

4. Ammonium Sulphate (AS): (NHSO4) is an inorganic salt. It is used largely as an artificial fertilizer for alkaline soils. It lowers the pH balance of the soil, while contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth.

5. Single Super Phosphate: Superphosphate is a fertilizer produced by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid on powdered phosphate rock.

6. Nitro phosphate (NP): It provides 22% nitrogen, and 20% phosphorus. Nitrogen is a primary nutrient that really makes plants "grow”. Phosphorus is a primary nutrient that encourages rooting, blooming and fruit production in plants.

7. Sulphate of Potash: Potassium Sulphate is a non-flammable white crystalline salt which is soluble in water. This chemical is commonly used in fertilizers, providing both potassium and sulphur.

Major market Players:

1: Engro Fertilizer Ltd.

2: Fauji Fertilizer Company Ltd

3: Dawood Hercules

4. Fatima Fertilizer Company Ltd.

Engro Chemical Company Ltd

Engro Fertilizers Limited, a wholly owned Engro subsidiary, is a premier fertilizer manufacturing and marketing company

    B) One advantage to using inorganic commercial fertilizer is that the nutrients are immediately available to the plants because they are purposely put in there to do so. Some other advantages are that it’s easily obtained, it speeds up the growing process, and you have a specific nutrient analysis. One disadvantage is it is more expensive and it is easily washed below the plants root systems from leeching of rain and irrigation. On top of that, other disadvantages are that is adds no humus or organic matter, it requires large amounts of energy for production, and over application could cause harm to the plant.…

    The use of soluble nitrogenous fertilizers in conventional farming, impacts the nutritional value of the food grown (Bacchus 2012, p.25). It leads to an increase in plant growth and development however a decreased allocation of resources towards the production of secondary metabolites (Mitchell & Chassy 2011). These include DNA, RNA, chlorophyll, amino acids and starch and phytochemicals of caffeine, isoflavonoids and phenolic antioxidants (Mitchell & Chassy 2011).…

    Nitrogen is the major component of earth's atmosphere. It enters the food chain by means of nitrogen fixing bacteria and algae in the soil. This nitrogen which has been fixed is now available for plants to absorb. These types of bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with legumes. These types of plants are very useful because the nitrogen fixation enriches the soil and acts as a natural…

    Hard Red Winter Wheat

    It is often the most limiting nutrient for cereal grain production and represents one of the highest input costs ($847/ton anhydrous ammonia and $592/ton Urea) in agricultural systems (Nehring, 2013). Nitrogen use efficiency is very low (30-50%) in cereal crops, indicating that much of the nitrogen is lost from gaseous plant emission, soil de-nitrification, surface runoff, volatilization, and leaching (Frink et al., 1999; Mullen et al., 2003; Fageria and Baligar, 2005). Loss of nitrogen causes unnecessary cost of nitrogen application to the farmers as well as negative environmental impacts especially ground water pollution. Nitrogen application in wheat increases grain yield (Caviglia and Sadras, 2001). Altman et al., (1983) found 3% and 8% increased in yield due to the application of nitrogen over the control in two environments at Pendleton, Oregon. The timing of nitrogen application is also one of the critical factors affecting yield. Appropriate management i.e. rate and timing of application of nitrogen is essential to obtain higher yield in wheat production (Blankenau et al., 2002; Cui et al., 2010; Abedi et al., 2011). For the better yield of wheat, it is essential to get enough amount of nitrogen, when crop response is expected to be high (Mullen et al., 2003). Each variety plays a significant role in the nitrogen uptake (Dhugga and Waines, 1989; Ortiz-Monasterio R. et al., 1997). Hergert and Shaver (2009) recommended the optimum nitrogen rate of 112.1 kg ha-1 (100 lbs. acre-1) for dryland and 168.1 kg ha-1 (150 lbs. acre-1) in irrigated areas for winter wheat cultivars of…

    Magnesium sulfate (or magnesium sulphate) is a chemical compound containing magnesium, sulfur and oxygen, with the formula MgSO4. In its hydrated form the pH is 6.0 (5.5 to 6.5). It is often encountered as the heptahydrate, MgSO4·7H2O, commonly called Epsom salt. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is used as a drying agent. Since the anhydrous form is hygroscopic (readily absorbs water from the air) and is therefore difficult to weigh accurately, the hydrate is often preferred when preparing solutions, for example in medical preparations. Epsom salt has been traditionally used as a component of bath salts.…
