Fertilizers are classified by source (organic or inorganic) and nutrient composition, with primary categories including nitrogenous, phosphatic, potassic, and compound NPK blends. Organic fertilizers come from natural sources like compost, while inorganic fertilizers are synthetic. Essential nutrients include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK).
