Fertilizer is a key ingredient in feeding a growing global population, which is expected to surpass 9.5 billion people by 2050. Half of all food grown around the world today, for both people and animals, is made possible through the use of fertilizer. As demand continues to grow, farmers around the world will continue to rely on fertilizer to increase production efficiency to produce more food while optimizing inputs. Fertilizers play an essential role in replenishing nutrients in the soil that are used by plants each growing season. Three primary nutrients are necessary for plant growth: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. All must be present in soil in the right amount to grow healthy crops.

• Nitrogen is essential in the formation of protein, which makes up much of the tissue present in living things. The earth’s atmosphere is about 78 percent nitrogen by volume; however, most plants can’t get their nitrogen directly from the air and require nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer is made by capturing nitrogen from the air and combining it with hydrogen derived from natural gas. This production method is called the Haber-Bosch process.
• Phosphorus is involved in many processes critical to plant development. Key among them is photosynthesis, the process that plants use when converting sunlight to energy. The phosphorus in most commercial fertilizers comes from phosphate rock found in fossil remains originally laid down beneath ancient sea beds. Fertilizer manufacturers mine deposits of phosphate rock, which are converted into phosphate fertilizers.
• Potassium, also known as potash, is essential for carbohydrate and starch synthesis, and it also helps plants resist wilting. Up to 98 percent of potassium in the soil is unavailable to plants in its existing form, making potash fertilizer essential for crop production. Potassium, like nitrogen, also helps plants produce protein as they grow. Potassium, like phosphate, is mined from mineral deposits.
