ICL, as a global fertilizer supplier, offers a full range of innovative fertilizer solutions. In addition to highly specialized ready-to-use fertilizers in various categories such as granular fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, or controlled-release fertilizers, our assortment also includes a broad spectrum of fertilizers which can be blended to produce NPK formulae
Fertilizer blends involves mixing different raw materials to create a customized fertilizer that meets the specific nutrient requirements of a particular crop or soil. With the high quality raw components from ICL, fertilizer blenders can produce various mixtures that offer the following advantages compared to ready-to-use solutions:
Advantages
- High versatility in application with only a few components
- Economic advantage for the user
- High nutrient density, thus lower transportation costs
- Reduction of nutrient losses and conservation of the environment
- Crop-specific and tailor-made formulations can be produced on demand
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.
The biggest challenge in the in-house production of fertilizer blends is the homogeneity of the components to facilitate uniform blending, thus avoidingsegregation during application or handling. Segregation results in an inhomogeneous granule size distribution within a batch, which greatly limits the precision of the application.
The raw materials should have similar physical properties, such as granule size, shape of the granules, and bulk density.
Best Raw Material Quality from ICL
The basis for a reliable fertilizer blend lies in the best raw material quality. As a supplier of components, ICL places the greatest importance on the use of the purest raw materials, resulting in high-quality fertilizer granules. During the processes of mixing, handling, and storage, fertilizer blends are subject to special mechanical stresses or even chemical reactions. The high quality standards of ICL ensure longer-term stability of the mixture by using the best raw materials , like fertilizers with strong granule hardness or our controlled release nitrogen fertilizer Agrocote®.

Ideal longevity for medium-late cycles of crops such as potatoes and other open field soil grown vegetables in Mediterranean areas.
Ideal longevity for short-medium cycles of crops such as potatoes, Brassicas and leafy vegetables.
Perfect longevity for medium-late cycles of crops including potatoes for both the processing and fresh markets and other open field soil grown vegetables.
ICL’s Granular Potash is a high-quality concentrated potassium source suitable for broadcast (surface-applied) or banded (adjacent to the seedbed) application. ICL Granular Potash can also be bulk-blended with other fertilizers to create different NPK formulations. The ideal granule size and superior physical properties of ICL Granular Potash ensure uniform, dust-free application in the field. As it is tailored for mechanical spreading, it is easy to load and transport. The product dissolves completely, making the potassium available for plant uptake. ICL potash is from natural sources. Our unique Dead Sea production site uses a natural evaporation process resulting in potash with a significantly lower carbon footprint when compared to alternative products.
ICL PKpluS Balanced P and K is for soils low in potassium and phosphorus and delivers a balanced and efficient nutrient supply.
ICL PKpluS High K is designed for low-potassium soils and boosts the quality of your crops.
ICL PKpluS High P is for soils with low levels of phosphorus and is ideal for plant establishment.
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.
