Fertilizer Market Executive Summary




Fertilizers are synthetic or natural substances that are used to promote the growth of plants and improve their fertility. They may also heighten fluid retention and sieve off any excess moisture, thus improving soil efficiency. Fertilizers usually offer three key macronutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, as well as nitrogen. They can also bring supplementary nutrients such as calcium, sulphur, and magnesium, to the soil. Based on the types of plants, different fertilizers are used. In some cases, even weeds are used as fertilizers for promoting the growth of plants such as nettles, Chickweed, comfrey, horsetail, yellow dock, and burdock, due to their high content of nitrogen.
