{{main|NPK fertilizer}}
There are three major routes for manufacturing NPK fertilizers (named for their main ingredients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)):
# bulk blending. The individual fertilizers are combined in the desired nutrient ratio.

# The wet process is based on chemical reactions between liquid raw materials [[phosphoric acid]], [[sulfuric acid]], [[ammonia]]) and solid raw materials (such as [[potassium chloride]]).
*The Nitrophosphate Process. Step 1. Nitrophosphates are made by acidiculating [[phosphate rock]] with [[nitric acid]]. 
*Nitric acid + Phosphate rock → [[Phosphoric acid]] + [[Calcium sulfate|Calcium sulphate]] + [[hexafluorosilicic acid]].
*Ca<sub>5</sub>F(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub> + 10 HNO<sub>3</sub> →6 H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> + 5 Ca(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> + HF
