Significant growth expected in the nitrogenous segment

Water-soluble fertilizers are used to control the amount of nutrients that should be made available to the plants. They can be mixed with water, and hence easily applied through fertigation or foliar application. Nitrogenous fertilizers are more convenient to use, owing to this ease in application. Nitrogenous fertilizers are the most widely used and are projected to be the fastest-growing types in the next six years.
