Challenges
-
More Expensive than Granular Fertilizers
-
High possibility to Evaporate into the Atmosphere
-
Liquid fertilizers evaporate into the atmosphere or turned into a gas and will last for one to two weeks in the soil. It is estimated that over 35% of urea is evaporated into the atmosphere as ammonia gas which is referred to as volatilization. The fast volatilization of liquid fertilizers hinders the demand for market growth.
