d) All the nitrogenous fertilisers are not soluble in water
Answer: d
Explanation:
Classification Of Fertilizers
- Straight fertilizers: Straight fertilizers are those which supply only one primary plant nutrient, namely nitrogen or phosphorus or potassium. Urea, ammonium sulphate, potassium chloride and potassium sulphate.
- Complex fertilizers: Complex fertilizers contain two or three primary plant nutrients of which two primary nutrients are in chemical combination. These fertilisers are usually produced in granular form. Diammonium phosphate, nitrophosphates and ammonium phosphate.
- Mixed fertilizers: are physical mixtures of straight fertilisers. They contain two or three primary plant nutrients. Mixed fertilisers are made by thoroughly mixing the ingredients either mechanically or manually.
Fertilisers can also be classified based on physical form:
- Solid
- Liquid fertilizers
Solid fertilizers are in several forms viz.
- Powder (single superphosphate),
- Crystals (ammonium sulphate),
- Prills (urea, diammonium phosphate, superphosphate),
- Granules (Holland granules),
- Supergranules (urea supergranules) and
- Briquettes (urea briquettes).
Liquid fertilizers:
- Liquid form fertilizers are applied with irrigation water or for direct application.
- Ease of handling, less labour requirement and possibility of mixing with herbicides have made the liquid fertilisers more acceptable to farmers.
Fertilizer can be classified based on content
Nitrogenous fertilizers
- Nitrogenous fertilizers take the foremost place among fertilizers since the deficiency of nitrogen in the soil is the foremost and crops respond to nitrogen better than to other nutrients.
- More than 80 per cent of the fertilizers used in this country are made up of nitrogenous fertilizers, particularly urea.
- It is extremely efficient in increasing the production of crops and the possibilities of its economic production are unlimited.
- All nitrogenous fertilizers are soluble in water.
