 INTRODUCTION

The uses of fertilizers are growing up day by day. It

provides nutrients to plants and helps to enhance the
effectiveness of the soil by modifying its water
retention and aeration.

The uses of fertilizers are growing up day by day. It

lps to enhance the growth of plants by giving proper
nutrients and nursing them from bad diseases.
 Fertilizer
A fertilizer is any material of natural or
synthetic origin (other than liming materials)
that is applied to soils or to plant tissues
(usually leaves) to supply one or more plant
nutrients essential to the growth of plants.
 Global
production &
consumption of fertilizers
 India is the third largest producer and consumer of
fertilizer in the world.

 Indian fertilizer industry started in 1906 with SSP

production facility at Ranipet near Chennai

 Started operating in a big scale since 1940s, when the

Fertilizer & Chemicals Travancore of India Ltd. and the
Fertilizers Corporation of India were set up in Kerala and
Bihar

 Total production of fertilizers in india-6.4 mmt per year.

The public sector companies in Indian fertilizer market are
listed below:
 · Fertilizer Corporation of India Limited (FCIL)
 · Hindustan Fertilizer Corporation Limited (HFC)
 · Pyrites, Phosphates & Chemicals Limited
 · Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited (RCF)
 · National Fertilizers Limited (NFL)
 · Projects &Development India Limited (PDIL)
 · The Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Limited (FACT)
 · Madras Fertilizers Limited (MFL)
 · FCI Aravali Gypsum & Minerals India Limited, Jodhpur
 Some Private fertilizer Companies
 The Scientific Fertilizer Co Pvt Ltd
 Coromandel Fertilizers
 Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited
 Apratim International
 Aries AgroVet
 Devidayal Agro Chemicals
 DSCL
 Gujarat State Fertilizers &Chemicals Limited
 Tata Chemicals Limited
 Chambal Fertilizers
 Nagarjuna Fertilizers and chemicals limited
 Godavari Fertilizers and Chemicals limited

 Mechanism :

Fertilizers enhance the growth of plants.

1. additives that provide nutrients to plants.

2. enhance the effectiveness of the soil by

modifying its water retention and aeration.
Plant Nutrients
 Nitrogen (N): leaf growth;

 Phosphorus (P): Development of roots,

flowers, seeds, fruit;

 Potassium (K): Strong stem growth,

movement of water in plants, promotion of
flowering and fruiting;
 Classification of Fertilizers:
Organic Fertilizer Inorganic Fertilizer
(Synthetic)

 Animal Waste.  Nitrogen fertilizers

&
 Plant wastes from  Phosphate fertilizers
agriculture.

 Potassium fertilizers
 Worm castings
Single Nutrient ("straight") Fertilizers :
-They consist of only one
nutrient component.

Multi Nutrient Fertilizers :

-They consist of two or more
nutrient components.
 Raw Materials :
 Nitrogen source -
Natural gas(CH4) AMMONIA
Air(N2) (NH3)

 Phosphorus -Sulfur, Coal,Phosphate Rock

 Potassium – Potassium Chloride (KCL)

Secondary nutrients are added to some
fertilizers to help make them more effective

 Calcium is obtained from limestone

 Magnesium - dolomite
 Sulfur is another material that is mined
and added to fertilizers
 Advantages

 Better for the soil

 Nutrient release
 Balance nutrition
 Fewer application required
 Beneficial to environment
 Enlarge soil life
 Disadvantages

 Slow to release soil nutrition

 Excess growth
 Less growth
 Harmful to soil
 Kill birds, rats, little crops
 Mixed up with river, pond etc.
 Causes eutrophication
 Impact of Fertilizer

Fertilizer impacts in various ways

 Economic
 Human health
 Plants
 Fertilizers in Market
Nitrogenous fertilizers:-
1) AMMONIUM SULPHATE
2) AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE
3) CALSIUM CYANAMIDE
4) UREA

Phosphatic fertilizers:-
1) SUPER PHOSPHATE OF LIME
2) TRIPLE SUPER PHOSPHATE
3) AMMONIUM SUPER PHOSPHATE

BIOFERTILIZERS
 Bio fertilizers are ready to use live
formulates of such beneficial
microorganisms which on application to
seed, root or soil mobilize the availability
of nutrients by their biological activity in
particular, and help build up the micro-
flora and in turn the soil health in general.
Environmental effects

1. WATER
2. SOIL
3. ATMOSPHERE
 water
 high water solubility of nitrate leads to
increased runoff into surface water

 as well as leaching into groundwater,

thereby causing Ground Water Pollution

 Nitrate levels above 10 mg/L (10 ppm) in

groundwater can cause 'blue baby
syndrome' (acquired methemoglobinemia)
BLUE BABY SYNDROME
BLUE BABY SYNDROME
 WATER POLLUTION & ITS
HEALTH EFFECTS IN
HUMANS
 kidney failure, improper mental and
physical growth, hypertension, hemoglobin
deficiency, hair loss and skin diseases.

 Cadmium toxicity is associated with

reduce fertility in women and men.
 WATER POLLUTION & ITS
HEALTH EFFECTS IN HUMANS
 Arsenic – Toxic anemia,
CVS / CNS disorders.

 Lead- lower the intelligence of the young

children ( Cognitive function)

slow poison for the future generation.

 Soil
1.Acidification :
lead to decreases in nutrient availability
2.Accumulation of toxic elements :
Cadmium
cadmium in phosphorus-containing
fertilizer is about 100mg/kg
Flouride
Arsenic
chromium, and Nickel
 Atmosphere
Through the increasing use of nitrogen
fertilizer
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) has become the
third most important Greenhouse Gas after
carbon dioxide and methane

It has a global warming potential 296 times

larger than an equal mass of carbon dioxide
 Conclusion

• Strengthen extension system to boast grain production

in the short run.

• Strengthen research systems and increase investment

in transportation infrastructure to improve marketing
system and irrigation to realize green revolution in
longer run.
