COMPLEX
FERTILIZE
RS
 Complex fertilizers contain two or three primary
plant nutrients of which two primary nutrients
are in chemical combination. These fertilisers
are usually produced in granular form.
 Complex fertilizers is defined as a material
containing all three prirnary, nutrients ( N,P
and K) and it is also designated as complete
complex fertilizers while a fertilizer material
containing one or two of the primary nutrient
elements (N and P or P and K etc ) are known
as incomplete complex fertilizers. They
are produced by a process of chemical reaction.
Most important complex fertilizers are Nitro
phosphates & polyphosphate based
fertilizers Diammonium phosphate and
ammonium phosphate.
5
 It is a granular fertilizer containing stabilizer
which prevents reversion of citrate soluble
phosphates to insoluble phosphate. Being
granulated it maintains excellent physical
condition during storage and
handling.Nitrophosphate contains nitrogen and
phosphorus in different proportions depending
upon the process of manufacture. It also
contains easily soluble and readily available
N03 N as well as NH4-N. Phosphorus is also
present as water soluble as well as citrate
soluble forms. All nitrophosphates have less
acidic effect on soil compared to other fertilizers
6
 Ammonium phosphate is an incomplete complex fertilizer and both
monoammonium and diammonium phosphates are manufactured by the
combination of ammonia with H3PO4 and also by treating with rock
phosphate with H2 SO 4and (NH4 )2SO4 as follows: NH3+ H3PO4 =
NH4H2PO4 (Mono-ammonium phosphate) 2 NH3+ H3PO4 = (NH4 ) 2
H2PO4 (Diammonium phosphate) Ca3PO4) 2 + (NH4 )2SO4 + 2H2
SO 4 = 3 CaSO4 + 2NH4H2PO4 (Rock phosphate)
 The resulting solution contains both nitrogen and phosphorus. The
liquid is turned into a granular product in the granulator. The granular
product is dried and screened. Product that is too small or too large is
recycled to the granulator
 In India, different types of nitrophosphates are manufactured with
different chemical reactions and mixing process by different fertilizer
company. They marketed the complex fertilizers as their different
grades and commercial names. Most important grades of nitrophosphate
is 20: 20 : 0 and it means that nitrophosphate contains 20 percent
nitrogen. 20 per cent phosphorus and no potassium. Besides these there
are various other commercially produced complex fertilizers suphala of
different grades e.g. 15: 15 : 15: 20: 20 : 20 etc.
7
 AMMONIUM POLYPHOSPHATE
 POTASSIUM POLYPHOSPHATE
 ZINCATED POLY PHOSPHATES
,ETC ARE THE MOST POPULAR COMPLEX FERTILIZERS THAT HAVE BEEN RECENTLY
DEVELOPED.
8
 It is a complex fertilizer.Although it
contains Nand P but it contains chiefly
phosphorus because polyphosphate is a
compound derived from the condensation
of two or more phosphoric
acids. Ammonium polyphosphates may
be granular and liquid. Different grades
of polyphosphates are marketed like 15-
62-0; 12-53-0, 15-60-0; etc. as solid or
granular and 10-54-0, 11-37-
0 as liquid. In addition to these there are
Sulphated and Zincated ammonium
polyphosphates which are also available
in the market to supply secondary and
micronutrient to the plant along with
nitrogen and phosphorus. So the
polyphosphate based different
micronutrient fertilizers which acts as
slow -release micronutrient are going to be
developed recently.
9
 Zincated polyphosphates can also be
manufactured with the rock-phosphate
containing Zn and polyphosphates and
that is also soluble in water and
available to plants.
10
 potassium polyphosphates are described which are
useful as fertilizers by supplying phosphate,
potash, and micronutrient values to the soil. The
heavy metal potassium polyphosphates may be in
the form of finely-divided solids or in the form of a
solution of dissolved heavy metal potassium
polyphosphates
 A potassium polyphosphate solution of grade 0-26-
26 was produced and this was made by reacting
superphosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide and
contained a mixture of ortho- pyro-and higher
polyphosphates. Solid potassium polyphosphates of
grades 0-42-42 to 0-47-47 are also available
 When polyphosphatic fertilizers are applied to soils,
these are hydrolysed step by step either chemically
or biologically to form orthosphosphate.
11
 It is one of a series of water-soluble ammonium
phosphate salts which can be produced when
ammonia reacts with phosphoric acid. DAP is used
as a fertilizer and a fire retardant. When applied as
plant food, it temporarily increases the soil pH
(more basic), but over a long term the treated
ground becomes more acidic than before upon
nitrification of the ammonium. It is incompatible
with alkaline chemicals because its ammonium ion
is more likely to convert to ammonia in a high-pH
environment.
 Product containing diammonium phosphate as
essential ingredient with small amount of mono
ammonium phosphate
 Total nitrogen: x (18-21)% P2O5 soluble in neutral
ammonium citrate and water: y (45-53)%
