Nitrogenous Fertilizers
Nitrogenous fertilizers are substances that supply nitrogen to plants, which is essential for their growth and development. They typically contain compounds like ammonia, urea, or ammonium nitrate, which plants absorb to produce proteins, enzymes, and chlorophyll. These fertilizers boost crop yields and improve soil fertility but must be used carefully to prevent environmental issues such as water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Proper application ensures plants get the necessary nutrients efficiently, supporting healthy growth and agricultural productivity.
