Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the elements in ordinary fertilizer.
Specifically, the term "ordinary fertilizer" tends to refer to synthetic, non-organic, conventional, commercial, artificial products that businesses, hardware stores and businesses make available for purchase. Such fertilizers are known as "NPK" fertilizers, in reference to the symbols of each of the three chemical elements listed above. The reason lies in the predominance of those elements in the fertilizer. The three elements dominate, because in nature they are among the six most important nutrients that roots need to take in for healthy plant growth.

What is the element in ordinary fertilizer?
Nitrogen tends to be 'the' element in ordinary, non organic, conventional, commercial, chemical fertilizer. But there also are ordinary fertilizers that may have greater percentages of phosphorus or potassium. Whatever the percentage, these fertilizers are known as N[itrogen] P[hosphorus] K [Potassium] fertilizers in honor of their constituent elements. The container gives the percentage of each element within the total amount of fertilizer.

What are the the elements in ordinary fertilizer?
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).
