The benefits of compound fertilizer on crops

Nutrient elements

The total amount of nutrients in compound fertilizer is generally high, with a variety of nutrient elements. A single application of compound fertilizer can provide at least two or more main nutrients for crops at the same time.

Uniform structure

For example, ammonium phosphate does not contain any useless by-products, and its anions and cations are the main nutrients absorbed by crops. This type of fertilizer has a relatively uniform distribution of nutrients, and after forming particles, it has a compact structure compared to powdered or crystalline unit fertilizers, with uniform nutrient release and stable and long-lasting fertilizer efficiency. Due to the low amount of by-products, the adverse effects on the soil are minimal.

Good physical properties

Compound fertilizers are generally made into granules, with low moisture absorption and less tendency to clump, making them easy to store and apply, especially for mechanized fertilization.

Storage and transportation packaging

Due to the fewer side components in compound fertilizers, the content of active ingredients is generally higher than that of unit fertilizers, which can save packaging, storage, and transportation costs. For example, storing and transporting 1 ton of ammonium phosphate is equivalent to storing and transporting a total of 4 tons of superphosphate and ammonium sulfate.
