2. Biosolids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosolids

   Biosolids can be an ideal agricultural conditioner and fertilizer [10] which can help promote crop growth to feed the increasing population. Biosolids may contain macronutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur with micronutrients copper, zinc, calcium, magnesium, iron, boron, molybdenum and manganese. [5]

3. Fertilizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

   Nitrogen fertilizers are made from ammonia (NH 3) produced by the Haber–Bosch process. [28] In this energy-intensive process, natural gas (CH 4) usually supplies the hydrogen, and the nitrogen (N 2) is derived from the air. This ammonia is used as a feedstock for all other nitrogen fertilizers, such as anhydrous ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3 ...

4. 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 ...

5. Lawn - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn

   In 1955, DuPont released Uramite, a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer specifically marketed for lawns. The trend continued throughout the 1960s, with chemical firms such as DuPont and Monsanto utilizing television advertising and other forms of advertisement to market pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides.

6. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

   A small amount of nitrogen is added to soil by rainfall, to the exception of wide areas of North America and West Europe where the excess use of nitrogen fertilizers and manure has caused atmospheric pollution by ammonia emission, stemming in soil acidification and eutrophication of soils and aquatic ecosystems. [47] [48] [9] [49] [50] [51]

7. 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.
