Pharmaceuticals, seeds, fertilizers, machinery, etc. Considering the effects of agricultural inputs such as; It has been determined that fertilizer alone increases the crop yield by 50-70%.
With balanced and regular fertilization:
- Higher yield is obtained from the unit area,
- The quality of the products is increased,
- Continuity of productivity in the soil is ensured and earnings are made permanent,
- A better growth environment is created for plants,
- Nutrients removed from the soil in various ways are regained to the soil.
In order to grow high-yielding and high-quality products, attention should be paid to the amount, time and application method in fertilization, as well as the correct selection of the fertilizer needed by the plant and soil. For a balanced and regular fertilization, soil and leaf analyzes must be done.
Compound fertilizers are the most used solid fertilizers in the market in the form of granules or powder.

Considering other agricultural inputs, it is known that fertilizers increase the product yield between 50-60%. About 90% of the fertilizers available in the market consist of solid fertilizers. Compound fertilizers are the most common solid fertilizers in the market.
What Does Solid Fertilizer Do?
Solid fertilizer, like all fertilizers, helps to keep plant growth and crop yield at a high level. It is called solid fertilizer because it is in granule or powder form.
