Which one is not a nitrogenous fertilizer?
Correct answer: B. Triple phosphate
- A. Ammonium nitrate
- B. Triple phosphate
- C. Urea
- D. Nitro phosphate
Explanation
The correct answer is Triple phosphate. It is a phosphate fertilizer, primarily providing phosphorus rather than nitrogen. Ammonium nitrate, Urea, and Nitro phosphate all contain nitrogen, making them nitrogenous fertilizers. While Nitro phosphate is not primarily used as a fertilizer, it still contains nitrogen, which disqualifies it as the correct answer in this context.
