Among the water soluble fertilizer forms, dry product is projected to acquire substantial traction. Dry water soluble fertilizer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 5.1% from 2023 to 2032. Dry water-soluble fertilizers are available in a dry granular or powder form but dissolve quickly in water when applied to plants. They are easy to handle, transport & store and can be applied to plants through irrigation systems or by mixing with water and applying directly to the soil.
Dry water-soluble fertilizers are made of various nutrient compounds including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients. They can be used to provide plants with the specific nutrients they need to grow and thrive. However, dry water-soluble fertilizers should be used with care as their over-application or improper application can harm the environment, lead to nutrient imbalances, or result in plant injuries. It is recommended to consult with a professional or refer to the manufacturer's instructions before using dry water-soluble fertilizers.
