2. Fertilizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

   Nitrogen is the most important fertilizer since nitrogen is present in proteins (amide bonds between amino acids), DNA (puric and pyrimidic bases), and other components (e.g., tetrapyrrolic heme in chlorophyll). To be nutritious to plants, nitrogen must be made available in a "fixed" form.

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. UAN - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAN

   UAN is a solution of urea and ammonium nitrate in water used as a fertilizer.The combination of urea and ammonium nitrate has an extremely low critical relative humidity (18% at 30 °C) and can therefore only be used in liquid fertilizers.

5. Ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate

   Ammonium nitrate is an important fertilizer with NPK rating 34-0-0 (34% nitrogen). [17] It is less concentrated than urea (46-0-0), giving ammonium nitrate a slight transportation disadvantage. Ammonium nitrate's advantage over urea is that it is more stable and does not rapidly lose nitrogen to the atmosphere.

6. Nitrophosphate process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrophosphate_process

   The nitrophosphate process (also known as the Odda process) is a method for the industrial production of nitrogen fertilizers invented by Erling Johnson in the municipality of Odda, Norway around 1927. The process involves acidifying phosphate rock with dilute nitric acid to produce a mixture of phosphoric acid and calcium nitrate.

7. 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 ...
