Mineral fertilizers prevented the hunger in the world Food and fertilizers
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2010, Vol 64, Issue 7
Abstract
In this paper the history of agricultural chemistry, as a branch of chemistry dealing with plant nutrition and control of soil fertility by fertilizer application, has been briefly reminded. The relation between the amount of fertilizers and agricultural production, focused on human nutrition was discussed. This relation is very close and therefore fertilization along with plant breeding and plant protection makes possible increasing food production at a faster rate than the population growth and hence eliminates the spectre of hunger on the earth. However the huge input of nutrients upsets their natural cycles and poses the potential threats for waters and the atmosphere.
