Why are fertilizers used?

Fertilizers provide crops with nutrients like potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen, which allow crops to grow bigger, faster, and to produce more food. Nitrogen in particular is an essential nutrient for the growth of every organism on Earth. Nitrogen is all around us and makes up about 78% of the air you breathe.

 

What is a fertilizer example?

Urea, slurry, NPK- nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium.

 

How is fertilizer made?

For nitrogen-based fertilizers, the largest product group, the process starts by mixing nitrogen from the air with hydrogen from natural gas at high temperature and pressure to create ammonia. Approximately 60% of the natural gas is used as raw material, with the remainder employed to power the synthesis process.

 

How Long Does Fertilizer Last? 

Most fertilizers don't go bad when they're stored properly and they can be used for many years. Granular fertilizers, for instance, typically don't have a set expiration date, while liquid fertilizers generally stay fresh for about 8 to 10 years.
