Water-Soluble Fertilizers Market Analysis

The major factor driving the water-soluble fertilizers market size is the growing adoption of water-soluble fertilizers due to their various advantages. Water-soluble fertilizers are dissolved in water and are applied directly to the plant through drip irrigation and foliar application in order to increase nutrient use efficiency. Water-soluble fertilizers exhibit a range of desirable properties. Water-soluble fertilizers have superior purity, overall handling properties, efficacy as plant nutrients, and long-term thermal stability as compared to other formulations.

Water-Soluble Fertilizers Market Overview

Water-soluble fertilizers are fertilizers that are dissolved in water and applied directly to the plant through foliar application and drip irrigation to increase nutrient use efficiency. The use of drip irrigation helps to reduce nitrous oxide emissions compared to other irrigation systems, like furrows and sprinklers. The foliar application provides liquid fertilizer directly to the leaves instead of the soil. This is a target-oriented approach, as nutrients are applied directly to plant tissues during critical growth stages. Water-soluble fertilizers are mainly based on the three essential plant macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Out of the total of sixteen elements needed to sustain plant life, N-P-K is always the leading ingredient of water-soluble fertilizers. N-P-K are mobile nutrients and will move downward and upward from the point at which they were taken up with foliar application.
