Fertilizer is a material of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soils or plant tissues to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to plant growth. It mainly includes nitrogen fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers, potassium fertilizers, compound fertilizers, organic fertilizers. Planting development in agricultural production is inseparable from fertilizer. Fertilizer is the grain of crops and the material basis for crop yield increase. According to the statistics of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the average yield increase effect of chemical fertilizers in food production is about 50%. The inorganic plant nutrition theory proposed by modern agricultural chemist Justus von Liebig believes that in order to maintain soil fertility, the inorganic nutrients and nitrogen that plants ingest and remove from the farmland must be returned to the soil in the form of fertilizers. In 1843, the world's first chemical fertilizer, calcium superphosphate, was successfully developed. With the discovery of saltpetre and potassium salt mines in Chile and the invention of synthetic ammonia, a huge chemical fertilizer industry has been established in the world.
