Pakarab Fertilizers Limited produces Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN), Nitro Phosphate (NP) and Urea. Pakarab Fertilizers Limited produces Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN), Nitro Phosphate (NP) and Urea.
Fertilizers restore soil fertility by supplying nutrients to the soil. These nutrients are utilized by crops for their growth and development. Without the addition of fertilizers, crop yield would be significantly reduced as our soils are deficient in major nutrients, like, N, P & K. Mineral fertilizers are used to increase the nutrient concentration of the soil and these minerals can be quickly absorbed and used by the crops.
Crops require sixteen (16) different types of mineral nutrients during their growth and these nutrients are supplied by the soil and mineral fertilizers. Plant nutrients are classified into three categories.
- The three primary macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K).
- The three secondary macronutrients: calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg).
- The micronutrients or trace minerals: boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo) and selenium
Pakarab Fertilizers Limited produces Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN), Nitro Phosphate (NP) and Urea and has a monopoly in the production of CAN and NP.
Sarsabz Calcium Ammonium Nitrate
In farming, the efficient supply of nutrients to the plants, with a low level of losses, is of great importance. This applies primarily to nitrogen, which has a direct influence on crop growth and development. Due to its special properties, the supplies of nutrients are quick and for a longer time.
Product
26% N (Dual Nitrogen) – 13% Nitrate and 13% Ammonical other than Nitrogen, it supplies additional 5 elements required for plant growth:
Product
26% N (Dual Nitrogen) – 13% Nitrate and 13% Ammonical other than Nitrogen, it supplies additional 5 elements required for plant growth:
- Potassium – 0.9%
- Calcium – 10%
- Magnesium – 0.05%
- Sulfur – 0.4%
- Copper – 0.001%
Effects
The composition of readily available nitrate nitrogen and reserved N (nitrate available after its conversion from ammonium nitrogen) is optimal for providing all crops with targeted nutrition. The nitrate nitrogen that is available immediately after the application and absorbed in water is taken up directly by the plant and nutrient losses are almost eliminated. Sarsabz CAN is a hygroscopic product and needs very low moisture to be absorbed by the plants. It is equally effective in water stressed areas where soil has low moisture. Furthermore Calcium and Sulfur available in Sarsabz CAN is also helpful in soil reclamation.
- Properties
- Sarsabz Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) is a granulated nitrogenous fertilizer that supplies nitrogen to plants in a balanced and secure manner. The combination of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen makes Sarsabz CAN a special product with neutral chemistry (pH). The excellent granulation and specific surface coating has very good spreading properties.
Sarsabz Urea
Urea is widely used in the agriculture sector both as a fertilizer and animal feed additive, which makes the production of Sarsabz Urea considerably high in comparison to other fertilizers in the country
Product
- Sarsabz Urea – 46% Nitrogen
Properties
Sarsabz Urea releases nitrogen into soil which is thereafter taken up in by the plants. Once applied to the soil, Sarsabz Urea undergoes vital transformations and breaks up into ammonium form and this total process is dependent on soil moisture. As soon as Sarsabz Urea dissolves in the soil, it forms around it a zoning layer of high pH and ammonia concentration turning the soil to be acidic and toxic at the same level. Sarsabz Urea is available as prills that are crystalline white and highly resistant to moisture and thus facilitate long time storage as well.
Effects
Sarsabz Urea has the highest nitrogen content, equal to 46 percent. This percentage is much higher than other nitrogenous fertilizers available in the market. The nutrient composition rendered by urea enhances the productivity of the soil and enriches its nutrient constituency. Providing each plant with relevant element needed, urea sustains plant life.
Application
Sarsabz Urea can be applied in various forms, it can be spread in bulk alone or can also be mixed with other fertilizers before application. When urea is applied on acidic soils of lower pH i.e below 7.0, it should be incorporated into the soil as soon as possible. Sarsabz Urea is high moisture absorbent therefore it should be stored in sealed and well enclosed bags.
Sarsabz Nitrophos
For farmers, choosing the right fertilizer for their soil is very important. In Pakistan, the soils are calcareous, have high pH and are alkaline in nature. Sarsabz Nitrophos (NP) being highly acidic is the most suitable fertilizer for these soil types.
Product
- Sarsabz Nitrophos (NP)
- 22% Nitrogen – 20% Phosphorus (P2O5)
- Also contains 9~10% Calcium
Properties
Sarsabz Nitrophos (NP) is a granulated fertilizer in which each grain has equal amounts of Phosphorus (P) 20% & Nitrogen (N) 22%. In addition to this, NP being a highly acidic product with a pH of 3.5, is the most suitable fertilizer for soils that have a high pH and are alkaline in nature.
Effects
The balanced combination of Nitrogen & Phosphorus is ideal for plant growth and development. It contains dual Nitrogen (Nitrate: readily available to the plants and Ammonical: available after its conversion to nitrate through the process of nitrification). Consistent and longer use of Sarsabz NP also improves soil health.
Application
Sarsabz Nitrophos (NP) can be applied universally on all types of soils, but is more effective where the soils have high pH and are alkaline in nature. In many crops it could be effectively applied at planting and at early growth stages of the crops. Each grain has equal amounts of N & P, hence the nutrients are equally distributed throughout the field.
Sarsabz Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP)
Sarsabz DAP fertilizer contains available Phosphorus 46% P2O5 and Ammonical Nitrogen 18% N. DAP is considered a basal fertilizer for its high contents of phosphorus and low concentrations of nitrogen. Sarsabz DAP can be applied to all field crops, vegetables and orchards as per recommendations. For further details please call at Sarsabz Pakistan 0800-91919.

- Phosphorous (P2O5) – 46%
- Nitrogen (Ammonical) – 18%
Properties
Equal sized granules, soluble in water. Sarsabz DAP contains high nutrient content and excellent physical properties that make it suitable for drill and broadcast. Sarsabz DAP is extensively used phosphatic fertilizer. It is produced by reacting phosphoric acid and ammonia. DAP itself is an alkaline fertilizer with a pH, more than 7.5.
Effects
Sarsabz DAP increases root structure of the plant, important for plant health which contributes in higher yield and timely maturity of crops.
