  2. Fertilizer burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer_burn

    The best option in terms of recovery is to water the plant with more water, maintaining damp soil. Stop fertilizer usage until the plant is hydrated. If a plant is burnt due to an abundance of nitrogen or ammonia, stop fertilizer usage and continue to water. If there is severe root rot, the function may not be able to recover and the plant may die.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

    Plants are made up of four main elements: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are widely available respectively in carbon dioxide and in water. Although nitrogen makes up most of the atmosphere, it is in a form that is unavailable to plants.

  4. Nitrogen generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_generator

    The nitrogen generators use CMS (carbon molecular sieve) technology to produce a continuous supply of ultra high purity nitrogen and are available with internal compressors or without. Low operating costs: By substitution of out-of-date air separation plants nitrogen production savings largely exceed 50%.

  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. Nitrogen cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_cycle

    The nitrogen cycle is an important process in the ocean as well. While the overall cycle is similar, there are different players [42] and modes of transfer for nitrogen in the ocean. Nitrogen enters the water through the precipitation, runoff, or as N 2 from the atmosphere. Nitrogen cannot be utilized by phytoplankton as N

  8. Nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

    Nitrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol N and atomic number 7. Nitrogen is a nonmetal and the lightest member of group 15 of the periodic table, often called the pnictogens. It is a common element in the universe, estimated at seventh in total abundance in the Milky Way and the Solar System.

  9. Nutrient pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient_pollution

    Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the "Big 3" primary nutrients in commercial fertilizers, each of these fundamental nutrients play a key role in plant nutrition. [4] When nitrogen and phosphorus are not fully utilized by the growing plants, they can be lost from the farm fields and negatively impact air and downstream water quality. [5]
