Question

All plants need nitrogen to survive, but it is naturally available to them in only limited supplies. In 1909, engineers developed a process to make nitrogen available to plants by synthetically producing the chemical ammonia. Once produced, ammonia could be used as a fertilizer for crops around the world thanks to its nitrogen content.

The process that the engineers developed is still used today. It makes use of the reaction between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas at very high pressures. Nitrogen gas is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere and is widely available. Hydrogen gas needs to be made from the methane found in natural gas. Natural gas is a fossil fuel that can be extracted from underground reserves.

What natural resources are used to make ammonia fertilizers?

Answer 1

natural hormones in the plant amonia which is found in the ground with a component or mineral that goes against it or we can use amonia from cattle farms which is found in urine if you are getting the picture..

Answer 2

Atmospheric nitrogen and natural gas are the two main natural resources used to make ammonia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The development of a process to create synthetic, nitrogen-rich fertilizers from atmospheric nitrogen and natural gas proved to be exceedingly important for human society. It is estimated that about 1/3 of the world's population is sustained by food grown with ammonia-based fertilizers.
