Compound Fertilizer复合肥料

A compound fertilizer is a fertilizer containing at least two of the three primary nutrients — nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium — produced through chemical reaction or granulation. It is characterised by a high nutrient content, a stable ratio and uniform granules. Its core difference from a bulk blending fertilizer lies in whether the nutrients are chemically synthesised rather than mechanically mixed.
