Ammonia in agriculture: The engine of plant growth
About 50 percent of the world’s food production depends on mineral fertilizer application. Due to the increasing world population and changing diets to more meat, there is a constant growth in fertilizer consumption. One of the key players: Ammonia. Ammonia binds air borne nitrogen and makes the most important crop nutrient, nitrogen, available for nitrogen fertilizer production. As an important base material for fertilizers, ammonia literally helps to put our food on the table.
