Inorganic Fertilizers

Inorganic fertilizer supplies nutrients in mineral form, so plants can use them quickly and in precise amounts. It is the backbone of most farm and landscape feeding programmes in the UAE, where sandy soils hold very few nutrients of their own.

Mineral fertilizer in this category

• COMPO Easygreen Mini 21 (21+5+10+3), 25 kg: a nitrogen-rich NPK for lawns and green landscapes.
• Unikey sulphur fertilizer, 25 kg: agricultural sulphur used on farms to supply sulphur and, over time, help lower high soil pH.

Both are currently out of stock and can be pre-ordered on WhatsApp. In the meantime, similar mineral options are available, including Desert Energy urea granular nitrogen, Blaukorn 12-12-17 balanced NPK, UniChem MAP 12-61-0 and YAMFERT MKP 0-52-34.

How to use inorganic fertilizer well in the UAE

• Split doses through the season, as daily irrigation leaches nutrients from sand.
• Water before and after spreading granules to avoid root and leaf burn.
• Agricultural sulphur works slowly and needs moist soil; it is a long-term pH tool, not a quick fix.
• Add organic matter alongside mineral feeds to help the soil hold nutrients.

Store bags dry and sealed, wear gloves and follow the label rate. Explore more in granular fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers or all fertilizers.

Shoppers here often also look for soil conditioners and iron chelate fertilizer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is inorganic fertilizer bad for soil?

Not when used at label rates. Pairing it with compost or humic acid keeps sandy soil in better condition.

What does sulphur do for plants?

Sulphur is a nutrient in its own right and, on alkaline soils, can gradually help lower pH so plants absorb iron and other micronutrients more easily.
