LO-5 Nitrogen and fertilizers
A plant needs carbon dioxide, light, and water.
It also needs several different elements.
The main ones are Nitrogen, Potassium, and
Phosphorus.
Know Your Fertilizer: What NPK really means -

What plants need to grow well?

LO-5 Nitrogen and fertilizers
Answer the following in your notebook
1. Define fertilizers?
2. What is the benefit of Nitrogen for plants?
3. What is the benefit of Phosphorus for plants?
4. What is the benefit of Potassium for plants?
* Refer to the fertilizers chapter on page 228
* Every crop a farmer grows takes compounds from the soil. Some get
replaced naturally. But in the end the soil gets worn out, New crops
will not grow well.
So the farmer has to add fertilisers.
A fertiliser is any substance added to the soil to make it more fertile.
1- Plants need nitrogen for making chlorophyll, and proteins.
2- Potassium helps them to produce proteins, and to resist disease.
3- Phosphorus helps roots to grow, and crops to ripen.

1- Animal manure is a natural fertilizer.
2- Synthetic fertilizers are made in factories and
sprinkled or sprayed on fields.
Here are some examples.
Ammonium nitrate NH4NO3
Ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4
Potassium sulfate K2SO4

LO-5 Nitrogen and fertilizers
Fertilisers help to feed the world. We could not grow enough crops without them.
But there are drawbacks – as usual!
• In the river Fertilisers can seep into rivers from farmland. In the river, they help tiny water plants called
algae to grow. These can cover the water like a carpet. When they die, bacteria feed on them, at the same
time using up the oxygen dissolved in the water. so fish suffocate.
• In the water supply From rivers: the nitrate ions from fertilisers can end up in our water supply. They are
converted to nitrite ions in our bodies. These combine with haemoglobin in blood, in place of oxygen, so
the blood carries less oxygen around the body. This can cause illness, especially in infants. Their skin may
take on a blue tinge. So farmers should use fertilisers carefully. They should try to keep them away from
river banks – and not spread them in wet weather
Explain why farmers should use fertilisers carefully. They should try to keep them away from
riverbanks – and not spread them in wet weather? refer textbook page 229
