How would a character build an explosive from natural elements?

A character is on an alien planet that is very much like any one of our large deserts. Sort of a Tatooine like on Star Wars.

He needs to cause a diversion. There aren't any explosives on planet of any sort. It's a farming community. There are no ships present at the time where pieces of it might be used.

But he needs an explosion of some sort. It doesn't have to be huge, but it has to be startling and cause a dustup.

What sorts of materials could use from nature to build such a bomb? There are farms here, so maybe there is some sort of fertilizer available as a non-natural element as well.
