The weight of the compound fertilizer is insufficient
Thread Content
Why is there a shortage of one pound in the amount after the compound fertilizer has been stored for some time?
Has the ammonia vaporized? Did you use ammonium carbonate in your ingredients? Additionally, urea hydrolysis may also reduce weight, and water evaporation or absorption can also cause changes in weight. Please provide more details about the situation, and everyone will help analyze it for you.
Agree with what was said on the second floor. You need to check your raw materials to see if any of them are prone to decomposition.
Regardless of the formula, the main reason is nitrogen volatilization; however, this situation is relatively rare. What is more common is the fertilizer absorbing moisture and thus increasing in weight.
It’s lost a pound; if it’s evaporating, it shouldn’t be that severe. Also, can water evaporate as well?

The formula contains ammonium carbonate, but in small quantities; moreover, it has already decomposed due to drying at high temperatures of over 100 degrees. The amount of urea is also low, so hydrolysis of urea is not possible. Is it because of ammonium phosphate?
Could it be that the ambient temperature is too high? Caused by decomposition and volatilization?
Your compound fertilizer is likely a nitrogen-containing one. In such fertilizers, nitrogen usually exists in the form of ammonium ions, which can easily break down into ammonia gas, leading to volatilization. It’s normal for there to be a loss of nitrogen in this way; therefore, nitrogen-containing compound fertilizers should be used as soon as possible to minimize nitrogen loss. A deficiency in nutrients
