Safe and healthy food supply
Nutritious food needs adequate portions of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for proper growth and development. Fertilizers guarantee humans, animals and plants a safe, healthy supply of food and nutrients. Without commercial fertilizers, the world would be without one third of its food supply.
Advantages of nitrogen
Nitrogen is the most important and commonly lacking nutrient in crops. In addition, nitrogen fertilizers have the advantage of offering high concentration of immediately available nitrogen to the crop roots in comparison with the highly variable organic fertilizers. Nitrogen fertilizers offer the general benefit of increasing crop size and improving crop quality.
