| Fertilisers |
|
D Finch, D Moore,
Catalyst:
GCSE Science Review,
2004, Vol 14, Issue 3,
pages 16-18.
|
| Summary:
As plants grow they remove compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from soil which need to be replaced to maintain the soil’s fertility. For centuries farmers have used organic manures, crop rotation or ploughed in specially grown crops; today many use chemical fertilisers to enrich the soil |
|
| Relevant
sub-topics:
oxidation, reduction, the reactivity series, instrumental analysis, percentage yield and atom economy |
