Sarsabz Nitrophos (NP) | Fertilizer For farmers, choosing the right fertilizer for their soil is very important. In Pakistan, the soils are calcareous, have high pH and are alkaline in nature. Sarsabz Nitrophos (NP) being highly acidic is the most suitable fertilizer for these soil types. 2. Sarsabz Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) | Fertilizer In farming, the efficient supply of nutrients to the plants, with a low level of losses, is of great importance. This applies primarily to nitrogen, which has a direct influence on crop growth and development. Due to its special properties, the supplies of nutrients are quick and for a longer time.

3. Sarsabz Urea | Fertilizer Urea is widely used in the agriculture sector both as a fertilizer and animal feed additive, which makes the production of Sarsabz urea considerably high in comparison to other fertilizers in the country.

Suraj Fertilizers (02 Products) 1. BADSHAH Single Super Phosphate Badshah Single Super Phosphate (SSP) has carved its niche in the local market as the finest quality SSP fertilizer product. Because of its acidic formulation, it is also the most suitable phosphate fertilizer for local soils which have high pH value and are deficient in sulphur and other micronutrients. The application of Badshah SSP has the following benefits for the farmers and the national agriculture: Badshah SSP is a multinutrient fertilizer containing P2O5 as the primary nutrient, Sulphur and Calcium as the secondary nutrient along with a host of micronutrient such as Zn, Mn, Cu, B, Mo.

Badshah SSP is the most economical and effective source of P2O5 nutrient compared with other fertilizer such as DAP, NP,TSP etc.

Badshah SSP supports growth and spread of plant roots ensuring extraction of maximum amount of nutrients from the soil. Acidic nature of Badshah SSP helps in lowering pH value of land and in reclamation of water logged and saline lands.

Badshah SSP helps control sulphur deficiency in land. Badshah SSP has standard size of granules which are quickly soluble in water. 2. Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4)

Sulfuric Acid (chemically known as H2So4 ) manufactured and sold by our Company is considered the best in the market. It is free from impurities due to use of special alloy materials in the production line. This prevents contamination of the final product caused by metal corrosion during the manufacturing process. In addition, the use of purest form of available elemental sulphur also guarantees quality and purity of the final product.

General information from net Crops require sixteen (16) different types of mineral nutrients during their growth and these nutrients are supplied by the soil and mineral fertilizers. Plant nutrients are classified into three categories. The three primary macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). The three secondary macronutrients: calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg). The micronutrients or trace minerals: boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo) and selenium

ORGANIC AND INORGANIC CHEMICAL NITROGENOUS FERTILIZER TYPES This type of fertilizer is divided into different groups according to the manner in which the Nitrogen combines with other elements. These groups are: Sodium Nitrates, Ammonium Sulphate and ammonium salts, Chemical compounds that contains Nitrogen in amide form, and Animal and plant by products. Sodium Nitrates Sodium Nitrates are also known as Chilates or Chilean nitrate. The Nitrogen contained in Sodium Nitrate is refined and amounts to 16%. This means that the Nitrogen is immediately available to plants and as such is a valuable source of Nitrogen in a type of fertilizer. When one makes a soil amendment using Sodium Nitrates as a type of fertilizer in the garden, it is usually as a top- and side-dressing. Particularly when nursing young plants and garden vegetables. In soil that is acidic Sodium Nitrate is quite useful as a type of fertilizer. However, the excess use of Sodium Nitrate may cause deflocculation. Ammonium Sulphate This fertilizer type comes in a white crystalline salt form, containing 20 to 21% ammonia cal nitrogen. It is easy to handle and it stores well under dry conditions. However, during the rainy season, it sometimes, forms lumps. (TIP: When these lumps do occur you should grind them down to a powered form before use.) Though this fertilizer type is soluble in water, its nitrogen is not readily lost in drainage, because the ammonium ion is retained by the soil particles. A note of caution: Ammonium sulphate may have an acid effect on garden soil. Over time, the long-continued use of this type of fertilizer will increase soil acidity and thus lower the yield. (TIP: It is advisable to use this fertilizer type together with bulky organic manures to safeguard against the ill effects of continued application of ammonium sulphate.)

The application of Ammonium sulphate fertilizer can be done before sowing, at sowing time, or even as a top-dressing to the growing crop. Do however take care NOT to apply it along with, or too close to, the seed, because in concentrated form, it affects seed germination very adversely. Ammonium Nitrate This fertilizer type also comes in white crystalline salts. Ammonium Nitrate salts contains 33 to 35% nitrogen, of which half is nitrate nitrogen and the other half in the ammonium form. As part of the ammonium form, this type of fertilizer cannot be easily leached from the soil. This fertilizer is quickacting, but highly hygroscopic thus making it unfit for storage. (TIP: Coagulation and Granulation of this fertilizer can be combated with a light coating of the granules with oil.) On a note of caution: Ammonium Nitrate also has an acid effect on the soil, in addition this type of fertilizer can be explosive under certain conditions, and, should thus be handled with care. 'Nitro Chalk' is the trade name of a product formed by mixing ammonium nitrate with about 40% limestone or dolomite. This fertilizer is granulated, non-hazardous and less hygroscopic. The lime content of this fertilizer type makes it useful for application to acidic garden soils. Ammonium Sulphate Nitrate This fertilizer type is available as a mixture of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate and is recognizable as a white crystal or as dirty-white granules. This fertilizer contains 26% nitrogen, threefourths of it in the ammoniac form and the remainder (i.e. 6.5%) as nitrate nitrogen. Ammonium Sulphate Nitrate is non-explosive, readily soluble in water and is very quick-acting. Because this type of fertilizer keeps well, it is very useful for all crops. Though it can also render garden soil acidic, the acidifying effects is only one-half of that of ammonium sulphate on garden soil. Application of this fertilizer type can be done before sowing, at sowing time or as a top-dressing, but it should not be applied along the seed. Ammonium Chloride This fertilizer type comes in a white crystalline compound, which contains a good physical condition and 26% ammoniac nitrogen. In general, Ammonium Chloride is similar to ammonium sulphate in action. (TIP: Do not use this type of fertilizer on crops such as tomatoes because the chorine may harm your crop.) Urea This type of fertilizer usually is available to the public in a white, crystalline, organic form. It is a highly concentrated nitrogenous fertilizer and fairly hygroscopic. This also means that this fertilizer can be quite difficult to apply. Urea is also produced in granular or pellet forms and is coated with a nonhygroscopic inert material. It is highly soluble in water and therefore, subject to rapid leaching. It is, however, quick-acting and produces quick results. When applied to the soil, its nitrogen is rapidly

changed into ammonia. Similar to ammonium nitrate, urea supplies nothing but nitrogen and the application of Urea as fertilizer can be done at sowing time or as a top-dressing, but should not be allowed to come into contact with the seed. Ammonia This fertilizer type is a gas that is made up of about 80% of nitrogen and comes in a liquid form as well because under the right conditions regarding temperature and pressure, Ammonia becomes liquid (anhydrous ammonia). Another form, 'aqueous ammonia', results from the absorption of Ammonia gas into water, in which it is soluble. Ammonia is used as a fertilizer in both these forms. The anhydrous liquid form of Ammonia can be applied by introducing it into irrigation water, or directly into the soil from special containers. Not really suitable for the home gardener as this renders the use of ammonia as a fertilizer very expensive.
