Sprint 138 iron chelate is produced as Na-Fe-EDDHA (C 18 H 16 FeN 2 NaO 6), while Hoagland's original solution formulations contain ferric tartrate (C 12 H 12 Fe 2 O 18), but no sodium ions. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Synthesizing a sodium-free ferric EDTA complex (C 10 H 12 FeN 2 O 8 − ) in a laboratory is sometimes preferred to buying ready-made ...
Therefore, pure KCl is 39.09/(39.09 + 35.45) = 52% potassium and 48% chlorine by weight. Its K value is therefore 52/0.83 = 63; that is, a fertilizer that gets all its potassium from K 2 O and has the same potassium contents as pure KCl would have to be 63% K 2 O. Pure KCl fertilizer would thus be labeled 0-0-63.
A controlled-release fertiliser (CRF) is a granulated fertiliser that releases nutrients gradually into the soil (i.e., with a controlled release period). [2] Controlled-release fertilizer is also known as controlled-availability fertilizer, delayed-release fertilizer, metered-release fertilizer, or slow-acting fertilizer.
The term "calcium ammonium nitrate" is applied to multiple different, but closely related formulations. One variety of calcium ammonium nitrate is made by adding powdered limestone to ammonium nitrate; [1] [2] another, fully water-soluble version, is a mixture of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, which crystallizes as a hydrated double salt: [3] 5Ca(NO 3) 2 •NH 4 NO 3 •10H 2 O.
UAN is a solution of urea and ammonium nitrate in water used as a fertilizer.The combination of urea and ammonium nitrate has an extremely low critical relative humidity (18% at 30 °C) and can therefore only be used in liquid fertilizers.
Containing water-soluble nutrients, vermicompost is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil conditioner in a form that is relatively easy for plants to absorb. [3] Worm castings are sometimes used as an organic fertilizer. Because the earthworms grind and uniformly mix minerals in simple forms, plants need only minimal effort to obtain them.
Organic fertilizer nutrient content, solubility, and nutrient release rates are typically much lower than mineral (inorganic) fertilizers. [ 38 ] [ 39 ] A University of North Carolina study found that potential mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) in the soil was 182–285% higher in organic mulched systems than in the synthetics control.
Tripotassium phosphate, also called tribasic potassium phosphate [3] is a water-soluble salt with the chemical formula K 3 PO 4. (H 2 O) x (x = 0, 3, 7, 9). [ 4 ] Tripotassium phosphate is basic: a 1% aqueous solution has a pH of 11.8.
