Crop yield and economy of cultivation are influenced by several factors; efficient uptake of nutrients from soil and as result higher nutrient use efficiency being one of the most important among them. Being readily soluble in water, Water soluble fertilizers (WSF) achieve this by releasing essential plant nutrients at the root zone from where they are readily absorbed and used elsewhere in the plant system.   BENEFITS OF WATER SOLUBLE FERTILIZER 25-30% of recommended dose of fertilizer can be reduced by using WSF. Essential nutrients can be applied uniformly to each and every plant even on daily basis. Water soluble fertilizers lend themselves to different methods of application viz., foliar and fertigation. They are also suitable for soil application depending on requirement. Wide range of nutrient grades are available. As it is applied on crop requirement, it reduces accumulation of salts in soil

In the changing agriculture scenario, where the fertile and productive land area is shrinking due to unscientific and surfeit use of chemicals and fertilizers, there is an urgency to correct the soil condition to suit for modern agriculture. Soil conditioners are termed as materials which when added to the soil help in improving or maintaining its physical conditions with improved physical and chemical health of soil that resultantly improve biological health. In the Integrated Nutrient Management approach, soil conditioners are integral part of the agronomic package.

In the Integrated Nutrient Management approach, soil conditioners are integral part of the agronomic package. Soil conditioners can be used to improve poor soils, or to rebuild soils which have been damaged by improper soil management. They can make poor soils more usable, and can be used to maintain soils in peak condition

Chelates are useful for micronutrients applied to alkaline soils. Iron, manganese, zinc and copper react with the ions found at high pH to form insoluble substances. As a result, the nutrients are made unavailable to plants. The organic coating in the chelate prevents these reactions from occurring in the soil. The plant roots take up the chelated nutrient and the chelate releases the nutrient within the plant. Chelated nutrients are also useful for foliar application. Plant leaves have a waxy coating that prevents them from drying. The wax repels water and inorganic substances making it difficult for inorganic nutrients to penetrate into the leaf. However, organic molecules can penetrate the wax. Micronutrients are elements which are essential for plant growth, but are required in much smaller amounts than those of the primary nutrients; Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium.

The micronutrients are Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Boron (B), Copper (Cu), Molybdenum (Mo) and Chloride (Cl). While chloride is a micronutrient, deficiencies rarely occur in nature, so discussions on supplying micronutrient fertilizers are confined to the other six micronutrients. While single nutrients are common for all states based on FCO declaration, micronutrients mixtures, mixture of two or more micronutrients declared by Department of Agriculture state wise is based on crops and soil.
