Agricultural Chemistry: A Look into the Mechanics of Fertilizers, Pesticides and Human Influence on Growing Crops

Agricultural Chemistry
Modern agriculture depends quite heavily on the advances that have been made in science and chemistry in particular, to maximize the yield of crops and animal products. Fertilizers, pesticides, and antibiotics play ever increasing roles in this field.
Fertilizers are perhaps the most widely used form of chemical in agriculture. Fertilizers are added to the soil in which crops are growing to provide nutrients required by the plants. Fertilizers can be divided into two categories: organic and inorganic. …
