UREA (NITROGENOUS) AND NON UREA (P&K) FERTILIZERS

Nitrogen Segment

नाइट्रोजन उर्वरक ऐसे पदार्थ हैं जो पौधों को नाइट्रोजन पोषण प्रदान करते हैं। नाइट्रोजन उर्वरकों के तीन मुख्य प्रकार हैं: जैविक उर्वरक जिनमें नाइट्रोजन के अलावा अन्य पोषक तत्व होते हैं; निर्मित खनिज उर्वरक; और हरी खाद, जो एक प्रकार की जैविक खाद है।

P&K Segment

While it can be a bit confusing, it is important to understand what each letter means. In short, fertilizers are labeled N, P, or K to indicate the amount of nutrients in the form of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). All three are important for plant development.

P& K Segment	Nitrogen Segment
Can be used in straight/complex form	Urea is the primary fertilizer
Segment iiivas decontrolled by the Govt. in 2010	Pricing to distribution is entirely controlled by the Govt.
Govt. announces fixed rate of subsidy (Rs. per kg basis) based on the nutrient content	Completely subsidized - Govt reimburses urea producers for the cost of production
Manufacturersiimporters can decide the retail price based on demand & supply eg. MOP Rs,-18k/- per MT Demand for DAP & Complex was -21million torts in 2021-22	MRP is fixed by the Govt. Currently at Rs. 268/- 50kge bag Demand for Urea in
-40-50% of domestic consumption demand of DAP and -100% of MOP is imported	India was ~34 million tons in 2021-22 ~20-25% of domestic consumption demand is imported
