Re: Chempak fertiliser precipitate/insoluble component
The white precipitate could be lime. Virtually all fertilisers have the effect of acidifying the soil, which can be a problem resulting in high levels of metallic elements becoming available, aluminium toxicity in particular. Not an issue in areas of high water pH, but in other areas on granitic soils it could be. A bit of lime would just buffer the effect.
