Know Different Types of Nitrogen Organic Plant Fertilizers and Their Benefits

Plants absorb nitrogen fertilizers in Nitrate and Ammonical form. That’s because nitrogen in the form of Nitrate is more suitable for the plants. However, some plants like Paddy consume nitrogen in the Ammonical form.

Nitrate fertilizer is a nitrogen rich fertilizer. As the name suggests, these fertilizers contain Nitrogen in the Nitrate form. These fertilizers can be easily mixed with water and fed to the plants. In case the plants require more nitrogen, the same can be ensured through nitrogen fertilizers. That bei
