उत्तर
Fertilisers are organic or inorganic materials that are mixed in the soil to provide plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Fertilisers supply nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium (NPK).
Fertilisers are classified into four groups:
1. Nitrogenous fertilisers: They contain nitrogen as the major nutrient.
2. Phosphatic fertilisers: They contain phosphate or phosphorus as the major nutrient.
3. Potassic fertilisers: They contain potassium as the major nutrient.
4. Complex fertilisers: They contain a combination of multiple nutrients.
