Fertilizers are used daily by farmers and families to help crops and gardens grow. Whether for a small garden of flowers and plants, or a large farm with thousands of acres of crops, a wide range of fertilizers have been developed to help different crops grow in different soil and weather conditions.

Chemical ingredients help create fertilizers that promote plant growth and are cost effective, too. Commercial and consumer fertilizers are strictly regulated by both individual states and the federal government to ensure that they are safe for the people who use them, people nearby, and the surrounding environment.

Uses & Benefits

With the global population steadily growing, it is important that enough crops are produced each year to provide food, clothing and other agricultural products to people around the world. Crops such as corn, wheat and cotton receive nutrients from the soil they are grown in; various crops deplete soil nutrients in different ways and rates. Some crop growth can deplete soil nutrients after just a few seasons of planting. Fertilizers play an important role in providing crops with the nutrients they need to grow and be harvested for nutritious food.

Fertilizers help deliver enough food to feed the world’s population. But they can do even more. A class of fertilizers called micronutrient fertilizers is engineered to enrich crops with vital nutrients that help support human health. For example, micronutrients such as zinc are important to human nutrition, especially children. According to a United Nations study, much of the world’s grain crops are grown in soil without adequate zinc; offering micronutrient fertilizers to grain crops enriches the grain with an important nutrient.
