  1. Fertilizers are substances added to soil or plants to improve their growth and productivity. They provide essential nutrients vital for plant development, including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), known as NPK fertilizers. Additionally, fertilizers may contain secondary nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, as well as micronutrients such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum, depending on soil and crop requirements.
