HEADING

CHAPTER

31Fertilisers

In plain English

This category includes fertilizers that are either mineral or chemical in nature and contain potassic elements. The specific types are divided based on their chemical composition, covering potassium chloride and potassium sulphate separately. Any other potassic fertilizers that do not fall into those two specific chemical categories are grouped together as the remaining items in this classification.
