Liquid fertilizers are the liquid solution of chemical powders that are a mix of nitrogen, phosphorous, or potassium. They are supplements or food for plant growth. You can directly spray liquid fertilizer on the plant leaves or put it in the soil in adequate quantity.
Farmers use these fertilizers to increase the soil efficiency of the farming land. Nowadays, liquid fertilizers are very popular in commercial farming and for the fast growth of commodity crops. NPK balance (nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) is very important for healthy plant growth and these fertilizers provide any lacking nutrient in the soil.
Organic fertilizers are the mineral sources that are present in crop residue, animal manures, and animal slurries. Such fertilizers have high nutritional values and improve the physical properties of soil. They are useful in the overall growth of plants.
Liquid biofertilizers are eco-friendly organic fertilizers having living microorganisms. They provide essential nutrients to the plants and increase root biomass.
These liquid biofertilizers fix the atmospheric nutrient content and solubilize phosphorus nutrients to make them fit for plant absorption.
Such fertilizers have a longer shelf life in comparison to chemical fertilizers and are very important for organic crop production.
Mineral fertilizers are the chemical fertilizers that are foliar applied or soil-applied in the plants. Such fertilizers provide essential nutrients required for the proper growth of the plant. They have all the necessary nutrients for improving plant health and help eliminate the need for crop rotation.
There are many mineral fertilizers such as nitrogen fertilizers, phosphorous fertilizers, and potassium fertilizers.
Liquid nitrogen fertilizers restore the nitrogen content in the soil for fast absorption by the plant. These fertilizers can be applied with other nutrients on the plant or in the soil. The most common liquid nitrogen fertilizers are liquid urea fertilizers i.e., urea-ammonium nitrate solution.
Liquid phosphorus fertilizers provide phosphate macronutrient to the plant that is ideal for stimulating plant growth in the early stage.
Liquid potassium fertilizers supplements plant with potassium, important for cell growth and eliminating plant disease. They are vital for strengthening the roots and overall plant growth.
These fertilizers provide the essential micronutrients in the soil that is beneficial for plant health. The trace elements such as copper, zinc, boron, and manganese are often ignored and much importance is not given to their deficiency in the soil. The lack of micronutrients leads to stagnant plant growth, damaged leaves, and a weak root system. Liquid micronutrients fertilizers correct the deficiency of such trace minerals.
