Which fertilizer is least hygroscopic?

(1) Potassium fertilizers are water-soluble but not hygroscopic in nature (Table 16.5). (2) They are readily available to plants. (3) There is not leaching loss. (4) As they are neutral in reaction so have little or no effect on the soil pH.

Most commercial fertilizers especially, those that have a high concentration of nutrients, are hygroscopic and thus have a high solubility in water. So they readily absorb water vapor or moisture during production, storage and bagging and form a saturated solution leading to caking, oozing, lumping.
