Answer
Common chemical fertilizers include urea (providing 46% nitrogen), diammonium phosphate or DAP (containing nitrogen and phosphorus), muriate of potash (rich in potassium), ammonium sulfate (supplying nitrogen and sulfur), and superphosphate (providing phosphorus). These fertilizers are manufactured industrially and provide concentrated nutrients in readily available forms. NPK fertilizers contain all three primary nutrients in various ratios tailored to specific crop requirements and soil conditions.
