Fertilizer is a material that is added to the soil to supply one or more elements required for plant growth and productiveness. Plants need to be fertilized because most soil does not provide the essential nutrients required for optimum growth.
The three numbers on fertilizer represents the value of the three macro-nutrients used by plants. These macro-nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) or NPK for short. All plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to grow. Without enough of any one of these nutrients, a plant will fail. An NPK fertilizer provides those three nutrients in ratios particular to the plant being grown.
Nitrogen (N), the main constituent of proteins, is essential for growth and development in plants. Supply of nitrogen determines a plant’s growth, vigour, colour and yield
Phosphorus (P) is vital for adequate root development and helps the plant resist drought. Phosphorus is also important for plant growth and development, such as the ripening of seed and fruit
Potassium (K) is central to the translocation of photosynthesis within plants, and for high-yielding crops. Potassium helps improve crop resistance to lodging, disease and drought
They are all important to photosynthesis, the process by which plants manufacture their food.
NPK fertilizers can be in the form of powder and liquid. There may also be a granular structure. These fertilizers can be used dripping and leaves.NPK fertilizer production is not very difficult. You need to know what materials will be used and in what amounts. Therefore, there is need for a good NPK fertilizer formulations and manufacturing methods.
Components of NPK Production Line:
Weighing & Blending System
Belt conveyor
Furnace
Rotary drum granulator
Rotary dryer
Rotary cooler
Rotary coating machine
Packing machine
Cyclones & dust collector
Vibrating screen
Bucket elevator
Scrubbers
The demand for fertilisers is divisible into three nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphates (P2O5) and potash (K). Potash is used in the mineral form and is mainly imported for India's fertiliser requirements. Some plants produce only nitrogenous fertilisers, a few phosphatic and others mixed.
NPK fertilizer plants are used for production of complex with different concentrations and types, such as inorganic fertilizers and biological fertilizers. The agriculture industry relies heavily on the use of NPK fertilizer.
There are in the country some 56 large fertilizer plants (29 producing urea, 21 producing DAP and complex fertilizers, 5 producing straight nitrogenous fertilizers), while the rest 9 units produce ammonium phosphate. Besides, another 72 medium and small units are producing single super phosphates (SSP). The sector has grown to attain a market size of around Rs. 300 bn
India is the 3rd largest fertilizer producer in the world. In India chemical fertilizers played a significant role which is well recognized and established for the success in agriculture sector, not only in terms of meeting total requirement of food grains but also generating exportable surpluses.
The Indian Fertilizers industry is the most energy intensive sectors according to the context of environmental discussion. As there is increasing productivity through the implementation of competent and pollution free technologies in the manufacturing sector it would be desirable in combining economic, environmental and social development. Today the Indian fertilizer Industry has grown in size and stature as it ranks 3rd in the world.
Importance of fertilizers in yield improvement, which is essential for achieving increased agricultural production, further increases because there is little scope for bringing more area under cultivation as well as majority of Indian soils are deficient in many macro and micro nutrients.
