   The nest of the Peruvian booby is made of almost pure guano. Guano (Spanish from Quechua: wanu) is the accumulated excrement of seabirds or bats. Guano is a highly effective fertilizer due to the high content of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium, all key nutrients essential for plant growth.

4. Condensed aerosol fire suppression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensed_aerosol_fire...

   Some aerosol-generating compounds (e.g., potassium nitrate-based) produce a corrosive by-product that may damage electronic equipment, although later generations lower the effect. Condensed aerosol fire suppression systems employ a fire-extinguishing agent consisting of very finely divided solid particles, suspended in an inert gas.

5. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

   Plant nutrition. Plant nutrition is the study of the chemical elements and compounds necessary for plant growth and reproduction, plant metabolism and their external supply. In its absence the plant is unable to complete a normal life cycle, or that the element is part of some essential plant constituent or metabolite.

6. Foliar feeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foliar_feeding

   Foliar feeding is a technique of feeding plants by applying liquid fertilizer directly to the leaves. [1] Plants are able to absorb essential elements through their leaves. [2] For example, the higher CO 2 consistently results in a lower plant foliar nitrogen. [3] The absorption takes place through their stomata and also through their epidermis ...

7. Insecticidal soap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insecticidal_soap

   Insecticidal soap is used to control many plant insect pests. Soap has been used for more than 200 years as an insect control. [1] Because insecticidal soap works on direct contact with pests via the disruption of cell membranes when the insect is penetrated with fatty acids, the insect's cells leak their contents causing the insect to dehydrate and die.
