Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to the soil to provide chemical
elements essential for plant nutrition. Natural substances such as animal dropping
and straw have been used as fertilizers in fields for thousands of years, and lime has been used
since Romans introduced it during the Empire. It was not until the nineteenth century, in fact,
that chemical fertilizer became popular. Today, both natural and synthetic fertilizers are
available in a variety of forms.
A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three numbers, such
as 4-8-2 or 3-6-4, which designate the percentage of content of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and
potash in the order stated.
Synthetic fertilizers, are available in either solid or liquid forms. Solids, in the shape of
chemical granules, are popular because they are easy to store and apply. Recently, liquids have
shown an increase in popularity, accounting for 20 percent of the nitrogen fertilizer used
throughout the world. Formerly, powders were also used, but there were found to be less
convenient than either solids or liquids.
Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the customer as long as they
are used according to recommendations based on the results of local research. Occasionally,
however, farmers may use more fertilizer than necessary, damaging not only the crop but also
the animals or human that eat it. Accumulations of fertilizer in the water supply accelerate the
growth of algae and, consequently, may disturb the natural cycle of life, contributing to the
death of fish. Too much fertilizer on grass can cause digestive disorders in cattle and in infants
who drink cow’s milk.
