Fertilizers

A fertilizer is a material of natural or artificial origin which is applied to soil or to plant tissues to supply one or more plant nutrients for the growth of plants. Different sources of fertilizer exist in nature. They are natural and industrially produced. In the latter half of the 20th century, increased use of nitrogen fertilizers has been a crucial component of the increased productivity of conventional food systems (more than 30% per capital). According to the Special Report on Climate Change and Land, these practices are key drivers of global warming.

Growing crops has been the occupation of farmers for thousands of years. Romans, Babylonians, and early Germans all used minerals   to enhance the productivity of their farms the modern science of plant nutrition started in the 19th century and the work of German chemist Just us Avon Lie big, among others. Fertilizers typically provide, in varying proportions:

Three main macro nutrients: Nitrogen helps in leaf growth. Phosphorus helps in Development of roots, flowers, seeds, fruit. Potassium helps in Strong stem growth, movement of water in plants, promotion of flowering and fruiting. Three secondary macro-nutrients: calcium, magnesium, and sulphur; micro-nutrients: copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, boron.
