How do fertilizer plants prepare Granular Urea?
Asked by Wiki User
Taking a 50000 tons urea fertilizer plant as an example, the process of making granular urea fertilizer as follows: materials batching, raw materials mixing, materials crushing, granulation by pan granulator, urea granules drying, cooling, granular urea screening, packaging etc. the whole process includes at least eight fertilizer machines to work together.
Of course, your fertilizer yearly yield depends on the number of fertilizer machines. At the same, you should consider the raw materials of urea fertilizer and urea shape.
This is a video shows the whole process of making fertilizer in fertilizer plant.

1.)its way to expensive to buy
2.)it takes along time to start to work in the soil that it has been put in
3.)the organic fertilizers release the nutrients in a very very very very VERY s.....l......o.....wmanner(way).
What fertilizer is best for cabbage?
Asked by Wiki User
Palm fertilizer is what is best for cabbage palm trees (Sago palmetto).
Specifically, cabbage palm trees benefit from specialty fertilizers. They do not need heavy nitrogen nutrient inputs. Instead, they have to have fertilizers with a higher percentage nutrient weight in phosphorus. They also like their fertilizers to include magnesium and manganese, nutrients in which they easily become deficient.
What is the best fertilizer for Fothergilla gardenii shrubs?
Asked by Wiki User
An acidifying fertilizer or compost are the best fertilizers for gardenia shrubs (Gardenia spp).
Specifically, gardenias appreciate soils that are more acidic than neutral. They therefore benefit from acidifying fertilizers that keep the soil pH below the neutral range of 6.5-7.0 on the 1-14 scale. They get the same benefits when compost is applied at fertilizer along the drip line or as mulch. Additionally, compost as mulch controls weedy competitors, favors drainage, increases soil fertility and keeps temperatures even.
What precautions can a gardener take so that chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth without damaging plant roots when the concentration is too high?
Asked by Wiki User
Dilution and supplemental irrigation are precautions that a gardener can take so that chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth without damaging plant roots when the concentration is too high.
Specifically, a too high concentration can be corrected by diluting the fertilizer to its correct concentration. A supplemental watering schedule can be put into effect. Adequate soil moisture levels help plant roots take in too highly concentrated fertilizers.
What is the best fertilizer for evergreens with yellow leaves?
Asked by Wiki User
A fertilizer with chelated iron is the best fertilizer for evergreens with yellow needles.
Specifically, yellowed needles indicate chlorosis. Chlorosis is a chlorophyll deficiency whereby needles do not turn the expected green in color. It may be corrected by chelated iron treatments in addition to any fertilizing schedule already in effect.
Why is fertilizer added to plants?
Asked by Wiki User
The fertilizers add nutrients to the soil so that the plants grow better and more productively than if the soil were left in its normal state.
What is a container grown shrub?
Asked by Wiki User
A woody plant that grows healthily within the confinements of a container is what a container-grown shrub is. A shrub may look as thick and wide as a bush or as branch- and trunk-defined as a small tree. Either way, some realize their life cycles in bare ground whereas others will tolerate the restrictions of such containers as barrels and pots.
A container grown shrub is a shrub grown in a container for all year round sale.
What are the ingredients of straight fertilizer?
Asked by Wiki User
Macro- and micro-nutrients describe the ingredients in liquid fertilizer. Liquid fertilizers include the macro-nutrients nitrogen for greening, growing and thickening, phosphorus for flower, fruit and seed production and photosynthesis and potassium for healthy roots. They sometimes include the other macro-nutrients calcium, magnesium and sulfur and such micro-nutrients as boron, copper, iron and zinc.
What is the best fertilizer for ash trees?
Asked by Wiki User
Compost or leaf litter are the best fertilizers for maple trees (Acer spp).
Specifically, maple trees benefit from ground cover that is most like their native habitat. Compost can be applied as a fertilizer along the drip line or as a mulch from about 5 inches (12.5 centimeters) from the trunk out to the drip line. Leaf litter also is a natural fertilizer option.
Otherwise, maple trees need no fertilization schedules if they grow in grass, lawn or turf that is on a regular fertilizer application schedule.
How much is a unit of fertilizer in kilograms?
Asked by Wiki User
Typically fertilizer recommendations for field crops are made in lbs of the fertilizer per acre. Example - 200lbs/ac of 12-12-12 (this would supply 20 lbs N, 20 lbs P, and 20 lbs K per acre).
The Analysis (X-X-X) shows us what PERCENTAGE of each nutrient is available by weight. Example; 100lb bag of 20-20-20 spread out over an acre will provide 20lbs Nitrogen, 20% lbs Phosphorus, & 20lbs Potash (PER AREA) of the total weight of the bag, therefore an acre would receive 20lbs of each nutrient.
Respectfully, the above (answer) would yield 24lbs/acre of each. If the analysis were 10-25-50, the amount of ACTUAL AVAILABLE NUTRIENT per bag (in a 100lb bag) would yield 10lbs N, 25lbs P, & 50lbs K. Keep in mind that the pellets are composed of fillers & binders.
What is the best fertilizer for barberry bushes?
Asked by Wiki User
Compost is the best fertilizer for barberry bushes (Berberis spp).
Specifically, barberry bushes can handle a variety of environmental and soil conditions. They do not need special fertilizer attention when they grow in grass, ground cover, lawn or turf that regularly is treated with fertilizer. But for those who feel more comfortable doing so, compost is a wise choice. It provides a slow but direct and steady release of nutrients back into the soil for intake for the barberry's roots.
How much do artificial fertilizers cost?
Asked by Wiki User
Reasonable prices year round and regular sales pricestend to be the norm in terms of how much artificial fertilizers cost.
Specifically, artificial fertilizers are much better known and much more widely distributed than organic equivalents. They benefit from being provided by established local businesses and multistate corporations. They can be offered at competitive and special prices.
Why should organic fertilizers and pesticides be used instead of chemical ones?
Asked by Wiki User
They are not neccessarily better.
It is a fact that chemical fertilisers and pesticides can leave residues and organic produce is probably healthier, but, with organic produce only we could not feed the world.
What is the effect of inorganic fertilizers on the environment?
Asked by Wiki User
Decrease growing times and increase production and revenues are the effects of non-orgnaic fertilizers on food production.
Specifically, non-organic fertilizers can be designated "NPK" fertilizers because of their weighted contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The three above-mentioned nutrients may make plants grow faster in less time. Crops and edibles that benefit from such fertilizer treatments usually promise more frequent and quicker stocking of grocery and market shelves and expanded availability of products since growing times are reduced but growing seasons can accommodate multiple crop productions.
How do you take care of cedar bushes?
Asked by Wiki User
Checking irrigation schedules, employing pest controls and pruning dead branches describe what to do with brown cedar branches. Location and pattern identifies the problem and its solution since one-sided and upper canopy browning speak of shallow roots in respective need of root rot-fighting fungicides and of drought-fighting supplementary irrigation. Horticultural oils against eggs and insecticidal soaps and miticides against adult spider mites and weevils resolve clumped bark- and branch-browning while pruning takes care of the scattered browning of old growth prefatory to replacement by new growth.
Is compost a fertilizer?
Asked by Wiki User
Fertilizer and compost are different items. Neither is better.
Compost is a soil amendment like peat moss, except it has much more. It normally contains many micro-nutrients that common fertilizers do not have. It also has live microbes fungi and bacteria that are needed by many plants to thrive.
Composts may have small amounts of N,P,K (Nitrogen, Potassium & Potash) fertilizers within it, but it depends on the source material of the compost.
Soil amendments change the structure of the soil so roots can grow better and clay soils may drain and sandy soils may hold moisture.
Fertilizers may be from chemical or organic source. They do not change the soil structure or the moisture holding capacity. Fertilizers simply supply the most needed nutrients for optimum plant growth.
For maximum plant growth and strength plants need both compost and fertilizer.
Returning the unused part of plants to the soil via compost maximizes the availability of the nutrients that your plants need and better simulates natural growth conditions.

What does the nitrogen in fertilizers do for plants?
Asked by Wiki User
Encourage above-ground growth is what nitrogen in plant fertilizers does to plants.
Specifically, nitrogen is one of the main nutrients that plants need in order to grow. It helps the plant to grow strong, healthy stems, stalks and leaves. But too much of it can cause lush growth of the above-mentioned body parts at the expense of fruiting and flowering.
What is the amount of fertilizer that needs to be used?
Asked by Wiki User
A website I discover, seems like the perfect place to view all of the information. Its called A Homeowner's Guide to Fertilizer and the address is www.ncagr.gov/cyber/kidswrld/plant/label.htm.
What are the names of the elements in ordinary fertilizer?
Asked by Wiki User
Many different elements and compounds are used in varying proportions as plant fertilizer.
The 6 main elements used are: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S)
Seven others elements are also used as "micronutrients": boron (B), chlorine (Cl), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn).
A compound that is commonly used in agriculture as a "high-nitrogen" fertilizer, is ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3).
How does a fertilizer with more nitrogen impact a growing plant?
Asked by Wiki User
Rapid growth of body parts may be a response to increased amounts of fertilizer to a plant. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium tend to be the main ingredients of artificial, chemical, inorganic, synthetic fertilizers. The three nutrients work together to quicken the pace of plant growth. Specifically, they target roots below ground and shoots above ground.
But the buds that produce fruits and flowers may get lost in the mad race for body parts to develop faster than naturally. It's easy for leaf and stem growth to take the lead. It equally becomes easy for budding and blooming to take a back seat. So flowers and fruits may be minimal, or even non-existent.
How do you fertilize a butterfly bush?
Asked by Wiki User
Compost and organic mulches are ways to fertilize a butterfly bush. The flowering plant in question (Buddleia spp) generally does not respond well to fertilizers. It likes compost as an amendment, fertilizer or mulch in warm weather and compost or another organic mulch during the cold season.
