These fertilizers plants are the largest in terms of compound fertilizer manufacturing, capable of producing nitrogen, phosphate and potash based fertilizers as balanced nutrient solutions. At both Pakarab Fertilizers and Fatima Fertilizer plants, a wide variety of fertilizers are produced. These include the following: 1. Sarsabz Urea, the most commonly used nitrogen fertilizer. It contains 46% Nitrogen. 2. Sarsabz Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) is a nitrogenous fertilizer with high efficiency. It contains 26% nitrogen. The Sarsabz. combination of nitrate and ammonia make it a special product with a neutral pH. It is effective with water and it is also effective with low moisture. 3. Sarsabz Nitro Phosphate (NP), balanced combination of phosphate and nitrogen. It contains 22% nitrogen and 20% Phosphorus. It has a low pH of 3.5, which makes the product acidic and suitable for highly alkaline soils, like in Pakistan.

On February 1, 2013, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence suspended a deal to finance an in-state fertilizer plant to be built by the Fatima Fertilizer Company, a subsidiary of the Fatima Group. According to news reports, the Pentagon has criticized Fatima Group for refusing to take steps to stop the flow of materials used by makers of the bombs that kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan.To convert fertilizer into material that can be used in bombs, insurgents either grind or boil it to separate the calcium from the nitrate, which is then mixed with fuel oil.[1]

"A congressional staffer said officials at the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization agree that Fatima has cooperated on some monitoring but not on more comprehensive measures such as dyeing. Smugglers can simply take some of the granules out of their bags and repackage them as detergent. The organization also has not received cooperation on tracking technology that is classified, the staffer said."
