Why do farmers add nitrgoen fertilizers but not carbon fertilizers to fields?
Because all plants are able to extract plenty of carbon dioxide from the air, which gives them plenty of carbon. Nitrogen has to be in a form usable to the plant, which only symbiotic bacteria on the roots of legumes are able to take out of the air.
What Based on the content of most fertilizers name two elements other than carbon that are found in compounds in plants?
Nitrogen and phosporus
What are some disadvantages of using fertilizers?

Why do plant fertilizers contain nitrogen phosphorus and potassium but not carbon?
That carbon, hydrogen and oxygen appropriately and readily are available in air and water and that the other three primary nutrients are not describes why plant fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium but not carbon. The other three primary nutrients, also known as three of six macronutrients, enter plants through the soil. Fertilizers intend to correct off-kilter below-ground situations of macro- and micro-nutrient, pH, structure and texture imbalances since roots and stomata respectively regulate air and soil intakes for life-sustaining plant activities.
