Answer
Three commonly used fertilizers are urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP), and muriate of potash (MOP or potassium chloride). Urea is the most widely used nitrogenous fertilizer containing about 46% nitrogen, essential for leafy growth and overall plant development. DAP provides both nitrogen (18%) and phosphorus (46% P₂O₅), supporting root development, flowering, and fruiting. Muriate of potash supplies potassium (60% K₂O), which enhances disease resistance, water regulation, and overall plant vigor. These three fertilizers supply the primary macronutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK)—that are most commonly deficient in agricultural soils and required in large quantities for optimal crop growth.
