  2. Fertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

    Total nitrogenous fertilizer consumption per region, measured in tonnes of total nutrient per year. Nitrogen fertilizers are made from ammonia (NH 3) produced by the Haber–Bosch process. [28] In this energy-intensive process, natural gas (CH 4) usually supplies the hydrogen, and the nitrogen (N 2) is derived from the air.

  3. Nitrogen and Non-Protein Nitrogen's effects on Agriculture

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_and_Non-Protein...

    When discussing the application of nitrogen in agriculture, it is essential to consider the sources of nitrogen used. Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, such as ammonium nitrate and urea, are commonly applied to crops to replenish soil nitrogen levels and enhance crop productivity [3] These fertilizers provide readily available nitrogen for plant ...

  4. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    Nitrogen is a major constituent of several of the most important plant substances. For example, nitrogen compounds comprise 40% to 50% of the dry matter of protoplasm, and it is a constituent of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. [9] It is also an essential constituent of chlorophyll. [10]

  5. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nitrogen is the most critical element obtained by plants from the soil, to the exception of moist tropical forests where phosphorus is the limiting soil nutrient, [36] and nitrogen deficiency often limits plant growth. [37] Plants can use nitrogen as either the ammonium cation (NH 4 +) or the anion nitrate (NO 3 −).

  6. Urea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

    A plant in Bangladesh that produces urea fertilizer. More than 90% of world industrial production of urea is destined for use as a nitrogen-release fertilizer. [17] Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in common use. Therefore, it has a low transportation cost per unit of nitrogen nutrient.

  7. Manure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manure

    For instance, sheep manure is high in nitrogen and potash, while pig manure is relatively low in both. Horses mainly eat grass and a few weeds, so horse manure can contain grass and weed seeds, as horses do not digest seeds as cattle do. Cattle manure is a good source of nitrogen as well as organic carbon. [3]

  8. Controlled-release fertiliser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled-release_fertiliser

    Slow- or controlled-release fertilizer: A fertilizer containing a plant nutrient in a form which delays its availability for plant uptake and use after application, or which extends its availability to the plant significantly longer than a reference ‘rapidly available nutrient fertilizer’ such as ammonium nitrate or urea, ammonium phosphate ...

  9. Biofertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofertilizer

    Biofertilizers offers an alternative solution for such agrochemicals, and show yield increase of up to about 10–40% by increasing protein contents, essential amino acids, and vitamins, and by nitrogen fixation. [20] Since a bio-fertilizer is technically living, it can symbiotically associate with plant roots. Involved microorganisms could ...
