Compare the characteristics of nitrogen fertilisers that are used for broadcasting with a phosphate fertiliser that is insoluble in water??

Nitrogen is mobile while phosphorus is immobile in the soil.

Explanation:

Nitrogen fertilizers are those fertilizers which provide nitrogen to the plants that is required by plants for the formation of amino acids. It increases vegetative growth of plant. Nitrogen fertilizer is highly mobile due to soluble in water and contaminated the underground water by leaching while phosphorus fertilizer are those fertilizer which provide second macro-nutrient i. e. phosphorus to the plants. Phosphorus is a vital component of energy molecule such as ATP. It is insoluble in water so it is immobile. Only 20 % of the applied phosphorus fertilizer is available to plants.
