INTRODUCTION
A chemical fertilizer is a substance applied to different soils or directly onto plants to provide nutrients optimal for their growth and development. The essential nutrients contained in these fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (NPK), as well as other nutritional substances in smaller amounts all presented in a form that can easily be absorbed and metabolized by plants. Chemical fertilizers have become a staple in many yards and gardens, and can be a key component of a healthy lawn care routine.

Analysis of fertilizers refers to have a qualitative analysis of each fertilizer so as to find out the cations and anions present in it.
It also includes to find the acidity and basicity of the fertilizer with the help of pHsolution.
Morever I would also find out the solubility of the fertilizer in universal and organic solvent.
To end the analysis I would furthermore test the presence of biuret which is toxic for plants and thus impairs plant growth.

PRINCIPLE
Qualitative analysis means to analyse cations and anions and other elements present in the given samples. The physical and chemical `properties will be observed for the different samples.Principles behind the qualitative analysis are the le chatelier’s principle and the common ion effect.
Le chatelier’s principle states that if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change of concentration, temperature or pressure, the equilibrium shifts in a direction that tends to undo the effect of change imposed.
If to an ionic equilibrium, a salt containing a

    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.…

    In this experiment, we are basically testing the use of different fertilizers on the growth of Duckweeds. Plants need fertilizers for their growth and to increase the yield of crops. But, at the same time, it depends on which Fertilizer being used and in how much proportion. Does it have sufficient nutrients or excessive nutrients? These were the questions, which I asked myself and through some research, I was able to write my Hypothesis.…

    Qualitative analysis, a branch of analytical chemistry, deals with the identity of a substance found in a given sample, and not the amount of substance in it. It only concerns the substances present or absent in a given sample. Qualitative analysis is therefore used to determine unknown ions present in chemical samples by observing and analyzing results from various reactions of the sample with chemicals.…

    The reasonable NPK ratios are very necessary for crops’ growing. NPK compound fertilizer is available in liquid or granular form, and some granular fertilizer is in a slow-release formula. A numbering system is used to define the percentages of the three essential plant nutrients. For example, a 20-20-10 fertilizer would contain 20 percent nitrogen, 20 percent phosphorus and 10 percent potassium. Secondary nutrients and trace elements are typically listed.…
