- Environmental advantages
- Customized formulations
Why Use Fertilizer Blends?
Fertilizer blends are very versatile. Using just a few raw materials, fertilizer blenders can create a vast array of different nutrient formulae to meet their customers’ specific demands, whether that be to meet specific crop requirements or to solve particular soil nutrient deficiencies.
Blends can also be a cost-effective solution, potentially reducing the overall fertilizer cost for the end user. And when created with concentrated fertilizer ingredients, blends can also reduce transport costs due to their high nutrient density.
One final consideration is that using a blend tailored precisely to the crops’ nutrient needs could reduce nutrient losses, which is better for the environment.
Avoid Segregation by Matching Raw Materials
Fertilizer segregation refers to the separation of different components within a fertilizer blend, leading to uneven distribution of nutrients. It’s important to minimize segregation to ensure that the blended fertilizer provides a consistent nutrient supply to crops.
One of the biggest challenges for in-house production of fertilizer blends is achieving the required homogeneity of the components to ensure uniform blending to avoid segregation during application or handling. Segregation results in inconsistent granule sizes within a batch, which greatly limits the precision of the application and, therefore, the nutrient supply to crops.
Ensuring that the raw materials have similar physical properties, such as granule size, shape, and bulk density, reduces the risk of segregation, producing a more consistent fertilizer blend.
Best Raw Material Quality from ICL
The basis for a reliable fertilizer blend lies in choosing the best raw materials. As a fertilizer manufacturer and supplier of fertilizer components, ICL recognizes the importance of using the purest raw materials to create high-quality fertilizer granules, ideal for bulk blending. During mixing, handling, and storage, fertilizer blends are subject to mechanical stresses and even chemical reactions.
ICL’s quality control ensures all our raw materials meet high quality standards so you can rely on them for the longer-term stability of your fertilizer blends.
Blend Components from the ICL Portfolio
With so many fertilizer components to choose from, including our coated Agrocote Controlled Release Fertilizers, Polysulphate-based fertilizers, as well as products from our Nova and Solinure product ranges, you will find the ideal ingredients to create your unique and reliable fertilizer blends.

PK premium granulated fertilizers featuring Polysulphate
ICL PKpluS is our line of PK (phosphorus and potassium) granulated fertilizers based on Polysulphate, containing five nutrients. The application of an ICL PKpluS formulation allows farmers to apply phosphorus and potassium along with sulfur, magnesium, and calcium in a single operation. A considerable proportion of the potassium content is in sulfate (SO4) form (20–35%), allowing flexible use in many crops. ICL PKpluS is available in a variety of formulae grouped into three types: high phosphorus for best plant establishment balanced phosphorus and potassium for a balanced and efficient nutrient supply, and high potassium for extra crop quality. Tailor-made ICL PKpluS fertilizers with additional micronutrients are available by request.

Granular potassium fertilizer combining Polysulphate and potash for improved performance
ICL PotashpluS™ is a granular fertilizer made with Polysulphate and potassium chloride. It provides crops with vital potassium, sulfur, magnesium, and calcium in a single application. ICL PotashpluS provides 37% potassium oxide, consisting of 30% potassium chloride and 7% as potassium sulfate. The sulfur, magnesium, and calcium in PotashpluS are all in 100% sulfate (SO4) form. With ICL PotashpluS, there is no need to choose between chloride or sulfate forms of potassium fertilizer: 20% of the potassium is in sulfate form, which reduces the chloride input by 50% compared with KCl. ICL PotashpluS is now included in the FiBL list of permitted inputs for organic production in Germany and Spain.

The four-in-one natural fertilizer
Mined in the UK in its natural crystal state (polyhalite), Polysulphate contains four essential nutrients: sulfur (S), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca), all in sulfate form. Polysulphate has a natural, unique dissolution pattern that releases nutrients gradually after application. This prolonged availability is a real plus for growers, as it reduces nutrient losses while also matching nutrient availability to the uptake requirements of crops. The net result, backed up by extensive crop trials, is that Polysulphate increases the nutrient use efficiency of crops, increasing their yield and crop quality. Polysulphate stands out as an eco-friendly choice for farmers. With its natural composition – it is simply mined, crushed, and screened – Polysulphate has an exceptionally low carbon footprint. In fact, Standard, Granular, and Mini Polysulphate have the lowest carbon footprint (compared to similar products) of just 0.0029 kilograms of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of product, clearly setting Polysulphate apart from other fertilizers. Polysulphate sets the standard in environmental sustainability among fertilizers. With certification agencies around the world, including Ecocert, Ceres, Control Union, and OMRI, approving Polysulphate for organic farming systems, growers for traditional and organic markets can benefit from the PLUS of using Polysulphate. Recently, Polysulphate fertilizers were certified to comply with UK’s OF&G Standards and also approved for use in organic systems. ICL Polysulphate: Always look for the PLUS.

Superior potash fertilizers
Potash (potassium chloride, or KCl), an essential nutrient for crop nutrition, is the most highly valued and widely used potassium fertilizer in the world, delivering the nutrient to the crop efficiently. ICL’s potash fertilizers are superb sources of potassium, produced at our environmentally friendly production sites. Our unique Dead Sea production site uses a natural evaporation process to produce potash. This process enables us to manufacture premium, high-quality potash fertilizers with a significantly lower carbon footprint than alternative products. For organic producers, there is more good news. ICL’s potash fertilizers are approved as inputs for organic farming under European regulation EU 2018/848, with FiBL, ECOCERT, and INTERECO all providing organic certification. In addition, ICL’s professional agronomic and technical teams are on hand to provide our customers with advice and support to ensure optimum potassium nutrition.
