Whats fertilizer made out of and how does it help plants and will the plant be stronger greener or will it be the same?
There are a lot of different types of fertilizer, because different plants need different types of nutrients. Most but not all fertilizers contain nitrogen. Nitrogen-rich fertilizer comes mainly from animal urine and feces. Fish-based fertilizers also contain a lot of nitrogen and other valuable nutrients for plants. Nitrogen helps to keep a plant green. Some fertilizers have phosphorous. Phosphorous type fertilizer comes from ground-up animal bones from slaughterhouses. Iron-rich fertilizer may have dried animal blood that came from slaughterhouses. Iron is used for plants when there is an abnormal yellowing in the foliage (a sure sign of iron deficiency in plants). Fertilizers help plants because they replace the nutrients in the soil that the plant has already taken out and used. Somtimes they use animal poo.
What is the chemical formulae of nitrogeneous fertilizer?
There are many different nitrogenous fertilizers. Some of them are the following: NH3, NH4OH, NH4NO3, NH4NO3+CaCO3, (NH4)2SO4, 5Ca(NO3)2 NH4NO3 10H2O, NaNO3, CO(NH2)2, NH4NO3 + H2O, NH4NO3 + CO(NH2)2+ H20, 5Ca(NO3)2 NH4NO3 10H2O+ H2O.

Why farmers use fertilizers containing nitrogen?
Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient, especially for growth. Some plants require more nitrogen than others.
Is a disadvantage of the overuse of artificial fertilizers?
The nutrients in artificial fertilizers do not stay in the soil for very long. For this reason, gardeners must apply inorganic fertilizers to their soil more often than organic fertilizers. Inorganic fertilizers that release their nutrients into the soil more slowly, and thus require fewer applications, are available from some manufacturers. Excess nitrogen causes plants to die

How do plants obtain the nitrogen they need?
Some plants are leguminous and have root nodules by which they are able to directly absorb the nitrogen from the atmosphere. If the are not leguminous, they get the nitrogen from the soils via their roots. For the same purpose of supplying nitrogen to the plants, farmers also add nitrogenous fertilizers to the soil which provides sufficient amount of nitrogen to the plants
