Figuring out Fertilizers: Creating a Practical Chemical Fertilizer Author: Michaela Buchanan Group Members: Grant Kresge, Kirk Martinson Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to create an aqueous chemical fertilizer with the mass composition of 0.80% nitrogen, 0.50% phosphorous, 0.10% potassium, and 0.20% sulfur4 and a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. The criterion of mass percent composition was addressed by conducting molarity, stoichiometry, and unit conversion calculations to determine the mass of

own food. Some of these people, however, still use fertilizer in order to increase the rate of production and total yield produced. Those people who use a form of fertilizer to feed their plants, they generally use cattle manure or home-made fertilizer. At home we used to use inorganic fertilizers on our plants as they are easier to use and easily available at any garden shop, however, we have started to use the new Bokashi medium as fertilizer as it is better for the environment and it also reduces

introduce is fertilizer for farmers. Fertilizer is a product that may vary from area to area, but contains the necessary nutrients that are needed to add to local soils for the growth of specific agricultural products. This is a significant need within Russia, as the agricultural industry has been falling behind in recent years. It seems that the nation has difficulty producing enough agricultural product to support its needs from year to year. Additionally, farmers do not often use fertilizers to help

The Effect of Fertilizer on Plant’s Growth Plants need food to grow like human beings. Fertilizers can provide plant’s nutrients that may be lacking in the soil. How does the amount of fertilizer effect the growth of the plant? Plants are important in our life. Plants give us food, regulate the water cycle, and provide us oxygen. Plants make up the habitat, and contribute to the climate. Our everyday life depends on plants. Life could not exist without plants. It is very important plants grow and

Inorganic fertilizer may look as if to propose that the fertilizer is not natural it is chemical made by the industries or a factory. Industrial fertilizer is fertilizer supply from mineral deposit or artificial from man-made compound. This type of fertilizer also contains natural compounds. The mixture of a formula is put together in a factory, rather than collecting by environment as it occurs with organic fertilizer. Inorganic fertilizer also contains beneficial chemical and mineral deposits and

The fertilizer samples that were used in the experiment includes 1-1-1 fertilizer, 3-1-1 fertilizer, and 5-1-1 fertilizer. The numbers in the fertilizer’s name correlates to how much nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is in each sample. These numbers are also known as N-P-K, which are the chemical symbols for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on the periodic table. For example, 1-1-1 fertilizer has one parts nitrogen, one parts phosphorus, and one parts potassium whereas the only difference in

living soil organisms. Also helps dissolve mineral forms of nutrients. Then buffers soil from chemical imbalances. May provide biological control of certain soil pests. But helps return organic materials to the soil. Could be used as a mulch a liquid fertilizer or incorporated into the soil. When you use it, it shouldn't smell. You

Nitrogen as a Fertilizer, Nutrient, or Pollutant Nitrogen can always be a fertilizer, nutrient, or pollutant depending on the circumstances and the environment it is in. As a fertilizer, nitrogen can be extremely useful in aiding the growth of many plants. As a nutrient, nitrogen is essential to many plants growth and survival. As a pollutant, nitrogen can not only affect the plant at the given time but be very detrimental many years down the road. No matter where you go nitrogen will always

Fertilizer Distance Science Experiment Research Plan Rationale: No other experiments have been performed testing how the distance of fertilizer from a seed of wheat affects the plant’s growth, but there are many other related experiments. Experiment 502, conducted from 1971 to 2015 in Lahoma, Oklahoma, measured the wheat grain yield response to nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization. An average increase of 14 bushels/acre/year in the first 10 years of the experiment when 80 pounds

possible tool to increase production. A major device being implemented around the world is nitrogen fertilizer. Since nitrogen makes up 16% of protein no living organism can survive without absorbing some in their normal diet (Frink, Waggoner, and Ausubel, 1999). Therefore nitrogen is an essential mineral for all living things; however, our industry has become too dependent on nitrogen fertilizers without realizing the long-term consequences and it is causing environmental issues worldwide.
