This Fertilizer Manual was prepared by the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) as a joint project with the United Nations Industrial Development Organi zation (UNIDO). It is designed to replace the UN Fertilizer Manual published in 1967 and intended to be a reference source on fertilizer production technology and economics and fertilizer industry planning for developing countries. The aim of the new manual is to describe in clear, simple language all major fertilizer processes, their requirements, advan tages and disadvantages and to show illustrative examples of economic evaluations. The manual is organized in five parts. Part I deals with the history of fertilizers, world outlook, the role of fertilizers in agriculture, and raw materials and includes a glossary of fertilizer-related terms. Part II covers the production and transportation of ammonia and all important nitrogen fertilizers-liquids and solids. Part III deals with the characteristics of phosphate rock, production of sulfuric and phosphoric acid, and all important phosphate fertilizers, including nitrophosphates and ammonium phosphates. Part IV deals with potash fertilizers-ore mining and refining and chemical manufac ture; compound fertilizers; secondary and micronutrients; controlled-release fertilizers; and physical properties of fertilizers. Part V includes chapters on planning a fertilizer industry, pollution control, the economics of production of major fertilizer products anJ intermediates, and problems facing the world fertilizer industry.

This is the first comprehensive guide to the workings of an industry of crucial importance to the world’s agricultural economy. Published in association with the International Fertilizer Industry Association, The fertilizer industry looks at the structure of the industry for all the key categories of fertilizer products including nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers. It covers their production and end use, their implications for the environment and considers the patterns and future of the international trade.

India's economy is heavily reliant on agriculture. One of the greatest contributors to the Gross Domestic Product is agriculture, along with forestry, fishing, and other related industries (GDP). It goes without saying that the fertiliser industry is one that the Indian economy cannot do without given how significant the agricultural sector is. The success of the agricultural sector in India is largely dependent on the fertilizer industry. The benchmark that the food industry in India has set is mainly due to the many technically competent fertilizer producing companies in the country. The combined output of Nitrogenous (N) and Phosphatic (P) Chemical fertilizers has increased from a modest level. Fertilizer Market Size will grow at a CAGR of 2.6%. Fertilizers have played a key role in the success of India's green revolution and subsequent self-reliance in food-grain production. The increase in fertilizer consumption has contributed significantly to sustainable production of food grains in the country. The NPK fertilizers market (feed-grade) is estimated at a CAGR of 4.1% these feed-grade fertilizers help animals attain faster growth and increase their weight by providing added nutrition to their meals. The global diammonium hydrogen phosphate (DAP) driven by the product's rising usage in fertilizers to increase the crop yield. The compound has a high nutrient content which is required for crop nurture. The global single superphosphate (SSP) market is expected to post a CAGR of close to 3%. Key factor driving the growth of the global single superphosphate (SSP) market is the increasing demand for phosphate fertilizers. Triple Superphosphate Market is growing at a CAGR of 5.5%. Triple superphosphate typically contains 44–46% of diphosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) and are produced by reacting phosphoric acid with phosphate rocks. The zinc sulfate market is expected to witness market growth at a rate of 7.50%. The global nitrogenous fertilizer market size growth rate (CAGR). The growth is attributed to the increasing popularity of agriculture on a commercial level across the world. The global potash fertilizer market growth rate (CAGR) of 4.66%. The Global Ammonium Phosphate Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.56% mainly due to robust demands from animal feed and fertilizers industries. The market has witnessed a significant boost from the enabling policy framework regarding yield enhancement of agri-produce.
