Fully Soluble Fertilizers (FSF) are solid
fertilizers which can be completely dissolved in water, with levels
of insoluble matter below 0.5% and in some markets below 0.1%. The
term is a more precise definition of what the market often calls
"Water-soluble fertilizers".
The products are used where complex irrigations systems are in
place, and therefore where fertilizers can be added to the
irrigation water. This practice is called
fertigation.
The products are also used where fertilizer is sprayed on to
growing plants for those crops that can take in nutrition through
their leaves. These are foliar fertilizers.
China is emerging as both a key market for FSF,
and a key producer of products.
