Agricultural Chemistry: A look into the mechanics of fertalizers, 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 …showed first 75 words of 516 total…

Pesticides can be divided into fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. Fungicides are used to control infestations of fungi, and they are generally made from sulfur compounds or heavy metal compounds. Fungicides are used primarily to control the growth of fungi on seeds. They are also used on mature crops, although fungal infestations are harder to control at this later stage.
