NPKSi Ca B 2.5-1.0-10-5-1.5-2
A fortified fertiliser specified under the Fertiliser Control Order, 1985 (Schedule I, Part A, 1(h), item 37). Key notified values: Total Nitrogen (Urea+Nitrate+Ammoniacal) 2.5 min; Water soluble Phosphorus 1.0 min; Water soluble potash 10.0 min. Added by S.O. 1781(E) of 22 Apr 2024.

Specification
As notified in the Order, line by line. Values are per cent by weight unless the line says otherwise.
How to read this table
- Minimum means the product must contain at least this much; maximum means not more than this (moisture, impurities and heavy metals have a maximum).
- Per cent by weight means grams in every 100 g of product: 0.5 per cent zinc is 5 g of zinc in every kg.
- P₂O₅ and K₂O: phosphorus and potassium are declared as their oxides. To get the element, multiply P₂O₅ by 0.436 and K₂O by 0.830.
- Tolerance: a lab result may fall slightly short of the notified value before the sample is called non-standard; the limits are in Schedule I, Part B.
- S.O. … (E) is the number of the Gazette notification that made a change; “in force” (w.e.f., with effect from) is the date it started to apply.
| Parameter | Notified value | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Moisture per cent. by weight, maximum | 1.5 |
| 2. | Total Nitrogen (Urea+Nitrate+Ammoniacal) per cent by weight, minimum | 2.5 |
| 3. | Water soluble Phosphorus (as P₂O₅) per cent. by weight, minimum | 1.0 |
| 4. | Water soluble potash (as K₂O) per cent. by weight minimum | 10.0 |
| 5. | Total Silicon (as Si O2), per cent. by weight, minimum | 5.0 |

| 7. | Boron (as B) per cent. by weight, minimum | 2.0 |
Applies to all fortified fertilisers (S.O. 2345(E), 29 May 2023): It includes all such fertiliser of standard prescribed in Schedule I and is fortified with maximum two micronutrients of the range specified in para (i) of sub-clause (q) of clause 2.
Tolerance: how far a sample may fall short of a declared value is set in Schedule I, Part B; see the tolerance limits.
Test method (Schedule II, Part B): method 28: Customised and fortified fertilisers.
Check a lab report
Compare the results of a lab test with this specification, line by line, including the tolerance allowed in Part B. Enter each result as on the report (per cent by weight unless the line says otherwise). A guide only: the report of a notified laboratory decides whether a sample is standard.
