It is generally accepted that the main nutrients for plants are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which together form compound NPK fertilizers. However, sometimes, depending on the cultivated plants, seasonality, climatic conditions, etc. compound fertilizers are used, which contain only two nutrients for plants – nitrogen-phosphorus or nitrogen-potassium fertilizers. However, in order to ensure the maximum yield, it is necessary to provide the plant not only with basic nutrients, but also with trace elements. In order to achieve maximum fertilization efficiency at minimum costs, it is appropriate to use micronutrients together with compound fertilizers. Therefore, the aim of this project is to create bulk nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers with trace elements.
