Compound and Water-Soluble Fertilizer for Rice
Rice is grown on more land than any other crop, which makes its fertilizer market the one where a buyer is most likely to be supplied from a product list rather than from a specification. A fertilizer for rice paddy that is worth buying is one whose grade, granule and nitrogen form are stated, and whose shipment can be checked against a certificate of analysis rather than taken on trust.
We supply the confirmed lines a paddy programme draws on: high-tower compound fertilizer at NPK 25-12-8 with magnesium and zinc, total nutrients at 45% minimum, granule 1.5 to 4.5 mm, produced to GB/T 15063-2020, with other ratios formulated to the buyer's specification; agricultural-grade ammonium chloride at 24.5% minimum total nitrogen on a dry basis to GB/T 2946-2018 as a quick-acting nitrogen source; and macro-element water-soluble fertilizer at 19-19-19 and 20-20-20 + 2MgO + TE to NY/T 1107-2020.
This page is written for distributors, cooperatives and farms buying on specification. It covers the grades, the packing, the documents and the questions to settle before ordering, and it publishes no rate and no yield figure, because those depend on your water regime, your soil and your own agronomy.
The problem
What this page is here to solve
Matching the nitrogen form to the water regime
A paddy field is a different chemical environment from a dry-land block, and the nitrogen source has to be chosen with that in mind. Having a quick-acting source and a granular compound on the same specification sheet lets a programme be built around the field's regime rather than around a single product.
Chloride on a block that cannot take it
Ammonium chloride is a quick-acting nitrogen source for chlorine-tolerant field crops, and rice is generally grouped among them — but the same chloride that makes it economical needs care where a block carries a salinity constraint. We state the figures so the decision can be made deliberately, and we do not publish a crop list as if it were an answer.
Granules that fail in a wet environment
Material destined for flooded ground has to arrive in a granule that survives handling and spreading, and in a bag that survives the humidity. Granule size is stated with the grade, and packing, palletisation and the loading plan are agreed in writing before booking.
Buying from a list instead of a specification
The most expensive habit in a broad-acre purchase is comparing quotations that were never comparable. We quote against a written specification and state the standard each grade is produced to, so the buyer can line two offers up line by line.
Recommended configuration
Confirmed grades behind a paddy programme
The lines below are the confirmed range this page is built on; anything outside it we will flag before you plan around it.
| Product | Confirmed grade & standard | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| High-tower compound fertilizer | NPK 25-12-8 + 2MgO + 0.2Zn · total nutrients ≥ 45% · granule 1.5–4.5 mm · GB/T 15063-2020 | Granular base and top dressing by mechanical spreading; other ratios to buyer specification |
| Ammonium chloride, agricultural grade | Total nitrogen ≥ 24.5% (dry basis) · moisture ≤ 3% · GB/T 2946-2018 | Quick-acting nitrogen for chlorine-tolerant field crops; also a feedstock for compound blends |
| Macro-element water-soluble fertilizer | 19-19-19 + 2MgO + TE · total nutrients ≥ 57% · NY/T 1107-2020 | Where the operation fertigates or blends its own solution |
| Anhydrous magnesium sulfate | MgSO4 ≥ 98% · chloride ≤ 0.2% · water-insoluble matter ≤ 0.10% | Chloride-free magnesium input where a block needs one |
| Packing | 25 kg or 50 kg PP woven bags with PE liner · 1000 kg FIBC with PE liner | Bags for distribution; FIBC for farm-scale handling |
Specifications shown are indicative; the controlling values are those in the technical data sheet (TDS) and the batch certificate of analysis issued for your order.
Why work with us
Written into the quotation, not into an advert
These are the points we put in writing for a broad-acre buyer; none of them is a superlative.
- Quotations built from your specification — ratio, granule, packing, quantity and destination port on one page
- Technical data sheet and safety data sheet issued before you commit
- Batch certificate of analysis with every shipment, as the controlling record
- Fertilizer-grade ammonium chloride: the export inspection position confirmed for the exact grade before quoting
- A chloride-free magnesium option, so a sensitive block does not have to take magnesium with chloride
- We stop where our data stops: crop-specific rate advice is your agronomist's call, and we say so
FAQ
Questions buyers ask about this
- Which grades do you supply for rice paddy?
- High-tower compound fertilizer at NPK 25-12-8 + 2MgO + 0.2Zn to GB/T 15063-2020, with other ratios to buyer specification; agricultural-grade ammonium chloride at 24.5% minimum total nitrogen on a dry basis to GB/T 2946-2018; and macro-element water-soluble fertilizer at 19-19-19 and 20-20-20 + 2MgO + TE to NY/T 1107-2020.
- Is ammonium chloride suitable for rice?
- Rice is generally grouped among the chlorine-tolerant field crops, and agricultural-grade ammonium chloride is a quick-acting nitrogen source for that group. Whether a specific block suits a chloride-based source depends on its soil and water, and that is a question for your agronomist — the same position we take on our chloride-sensitive crops page.
- Do you publish rates or timing for paddy?
- No. Rates and timing depend on the water regime, the soil, the variety and the rest of the programme, and they are set by your agronomist or extension service. We state composition and packing, and stop there.
- Can you formulate a compound ratio other than 25-12-8?
- Yes, high-tower compound fertilizer can be formulated to the buyer's ratio within our confirmed capability, subject to a minimum order for a custom run. Send the ratio you want and we will confirm what we can produce and on what lead time.
- How do the documents and clearance work?
- We issue commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, batch certificate of analysis, technical data sheet and safety data sheet as one set. Registration and customs clearance are handled by the importer or its local agent, supported by the technical file we provide.
