ammonia fermentation

Ammonia fermentation is a biological process where microorganisms break down organic waste materials, like manure or plant matter, to produce ammonia. This occurs during composting or waste treatment, helping decompose complex organic compounds into simpler forms. In agriculture, it’s used to convert organic nitrogen into ammonia, which can then be processed further into fertilizers, enriching soil nutrients. The process is part of the nitrogen cycle, playing a crucial role in recycling nitrogen in the environment. Proper management of ammonia fermentation helps harness natural microbial activity for waste transformation and sustainable fertilization.
