Ingredients for fertilizers
More about «Raw materials for fertilizers»
In order for a fertilizer to really work, it is important not only its purpose, but also what it is made of. The word “raw materials for fertilizers” is usually understood to mean NPK salts, chelates of trace elements, amino acids and biostimulants, which form the basis of every effective top dressing. The result directly depends on their purity, solubility and stability – productivity, assimilation and speed of action.
The catalog of ingredients for fertilizers from REVADA Agro includes everything from monoammonium phosphate (MAP) to mycorrhiza. We will select the necessary component and deliver it without delay – quickly, clearly and with documents.
Why it’s important to choose proven ingredients
The quality of raw materials is not an abstract concept. It affects every detail in the process, from dissolution in water to behavior in a pellet or tank mixture.
- Purity and solubility – less sediment, less blockages in nozzles and droppers.
- Stability of granules – anti-caking agents and conditioners in the composition help to maintain the flowability of NPK even during storage.
- Trace element chelates (for example, EDTA-Fe 13%, DTPA-Cu 11%, EDDHA-Fe 6%) make zinc, iron, and manganese available even in difficult soil conditions.
- Compliance with standards – the raw materials are certified according to the requirements of RU and EU. Quality certificates and protocols are issued for each position.
Categories and products in the REVADA Agro catalog
Macro- and mesoelements
The classic base of any fertilizer is macro- and mesoelements. We supply fertilizer ingredients with high solubility, stable formula and critical parameter control.
- Monoammonium phosphate (MAP) 12-61-0 is a concentrated source of phosphorus and ammonium nitrogen. It is completely water-soluble. It is suitable for drip irrigation and leaf top dressing.
- Ammonium thiosulfate (58%) and potassium thiosulfate (50%) are not only a source of sulfur and potassium, but also a natural water softener.
- Magnesium sulfate is supplied in crystalline form and is easily absorbed by plants.
- Calcium nitrate (on request) – mesoelement for hydroponics and prevention of calcium deficiency.
Trace elements in chelated form
In order for the batteries to really work, they must be available to the plant. Trace element chelates are a form in which iron, copper, zinc and other elements are easily absorbed, even under unfavorable soil conditions.
- Aminochelates are an organic shell of amino acids that protects the trace element from being blocked in the soil. We supply forms of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Co.
- EDTA salts (including Fe-EDTA 13%, Cu-EDTA, Zn-EDTA, etc.) are suitable for pH 4 and 7. They work well in leaf fertilizers.
- DTPA chelates are stable in solutions up to pH 7.5. They are often used in hydroponics and drip irrigation.
- EDDHA-Fe 6% is the best option for alkaline soils with a pH above 8. It provides high availability of iron.
- Ammonium heptamolybdate is a source of molybdenum necessary for nitrogen metabolism.
Amino acids and biostimulants
When it is necessary not only to feed a plant, but to support it under stress or stimulate development, amino acids and biostimulants come into play.
- A mixture of 80% amino acids is a complex for anti-stress protection, improves the absorption of fertilizers.
- L-Arginine, L-Glycine, L-Threonine and other individual amino acids with a targeted effect: from stimulating photosynthesis to protein accumulation.
- Seaweed extract is a natural source of phytohormones and trace elements.
- Succinic acid and chitosan enhance root formation and disease resistance.
- Mycorrhiza are symbiotic fungi that improve the absorption of phosphorus and water. Endo- and ectomycorrhizal strains are available.
Plant growth regulators
When the task is to manage not only nutrition, but also plant morphology, growth regulators are used. These are fine-tuning tools: they help the plant to bloom at the right moment, not to overgrow, enhance root formation, or vice versa – to slow down stretching.
- Heteroauxins activate cell division, promote the rooting of cuttings and the growth of lateral roots.
- Gibberellins (Ga₃, ga₄⁄₇) stimulate shoot growth, accelerate seed germination and ovary formation.
- Paclobutrazole is used to limit stretching and increase resistance to stress.
- Trimethyl phosphate is effective as a regulator of flower laying and correction of phenological phases.
Functional additives
Even if all the batteries are balanced, it is impossible to obtain a stable form of fertilizer without technological components. Functional additives ensure flowability, resistance to foaming, proper wetting and a stable granule.
- Agrosoft RL-P20 (20% rhamnolipid) bio-surfactant, which reduces the surface tension of the solution and enhances penetration.
- Silicone defoamer controls foam formation during mixing and spraying, especially in drip irrigation systems and tank mixtures.
- Anti-caking agents and granule conditioners improve storage, increase the stability of the composition and the convenience of dosage.
How to choose the ingredients for your fertilizer
The formulation of fertilizers is always a compromise between agronomic tasks, the type of crop and the characteristics of water. The choice of fertilizer ingredients directly affects the effectiveness and stability of the product.
- The form of nitrogen – ammonium or nitrate? Ammonium is absorbed longer, nitrate is absorbed faster. Sometimes they are combined for prolonged action.
- Target technology granules, water-soluble fertilizers or leaf top dressing? The shape of macro- and microelements depends on this.
- Water characteristics – pH level and hardness determine which micronutrient chelate will work correctly.
- Compatibility It is important to understand how trace elements and growth regulators behave in the same formula. We help you check the mixability and select the correct combinations.

Laboratory support and quality control
To make the formula work stably not only in theory, but also in real conditions we are conducting laboratory tests. REVADA Agro accompanies deliveries not only with documents, but also with tests on key indicators.:
- Granulometric composition for NPK granules and water-soluble salts,
- Solubility check control of complete dissolution without precipitation,
- The pH measurement determines the reaction of the medium and the stability of the formula,
- The control of heavy metals is especially important in the production of fertilizers for export.
We send samples on request. You can test the product on your own equipment before ordering a batch. This is convenient and reduces risks.
Logistics and terms of delivery
We understand how important timing and transparency are in dealing with raw materials. Therefore, you can count on clear conditions and logistics without “surprises”.
- Warehouses are located in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don and Minsk, which provides flexibility in terms of shipping terms and conditions.
- Packing – from 25 kg to big bags. We select the packaging for your production format.
- Documents quality certificates, SDS, export certificates are all included.
- Support at all stages – from the selection of raw materials to the arrival of the batch in your warehouse.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between EDTA chelate and DTPA?
EDTA operates in the pH range up to 7. DTPA is stable up to pH 7.5 and is better suited for alkaline solutions and hydroponics.
Is it possible to mix amino acids with MAP?
Yes, in most cases, a mixture of MAP and amino acids is compatible. But it is better to conduct a stability test before mass use.
How to avoid caking of NPK granules?
Use anti-caking agents and granule conditioners. We will select the appropriate component depending on humidity and storage conditions.
Which chelates are suitable for drip irrigation?
DTPA and EDDHA work best, especially in water with high hardness. They do not precipitate and are safe for irrigation systems.
What is the shelf life of mycorrhiza?
The shelf life is from 6 to 12 months, depending on the strain and conditions. Store in a cool and dry place without direct light.
