The storage of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the same room is potentially dangerous. Lighter ones can lead to a decrease in the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Severe ones can cause poisoning, fire, or even an explosion.
There are many kinds of pesticides and fertilizers with different characteristics, complex specifications, and prone to chemical reactions and physical changes.
Sodium nitrate and other flammable and explosive chemical fertilizers will generate heat under high temperature or impact, and combustible and explosive pesticides such as benzene and xylene will burn and explode.
Superphosphate, ammonium sulfate and other acidic fertilizers will volatilize free acid during storage, make the ambient air acidic, and corrode the pesticide package. This will not only bring difficulties to the storage, transportation, and use of pesticides, but also increase the risk of human and animal poisoning.
Nitrogen fertilizers produce ammonia when heated, and ammonia is absorbed by moist air to become alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide, which may cause alkaline pesticides, especially powder pesticides, to decompose or coalesce into agglomerates, resulting in reduced insecticidal effects.
