Fertilizers

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Fertilizers supply essential nutrients (N, P, K) for plant growth. Synthetic fertilizers (e.g., ammonium nitrate) are manufactured via processes like Haber-Bosch for ammonia. Overuse can lead to eutrophication and environmental harm. Understanding soil chemistry, nutrient cycling, and controlled-release formulations helps optimize agricultural yield while mitigating negative ecological effects.
