Yes, indirectly, but not as a separate element. Hydrogen is used in the Haber process to manufacture ammonia. This is then used directly as a fertilizer or used to create other ammonia based compounds e.g ammonium salts for use as fertilizer.

What is nitrogen gas used for?

Nitrogen gas has a number of uses. Since it is relatively inert, it is often used as a preservative atmosphere for delicate historical objects. It can also be used to manufacture ammonia, by combining it with hydrogen. Ammonia has many industrial uses, such as the manufacture of explosives and of fertilizers.


What is the primary industrial use of hydrogen?

There are two primary uses for hydrogen today. About half is used to produce ammonia (NH3) via the Haber process, which is then used directly or indirectly as fertilizer. Because both the world population and the intensive agriculture used to support it are growing, ammonia demand is growing. The other half of current hydrogen production is used to convert heavy petroleum sources into lighter fractions suitable for use as fuels. This latter process is known as hydrocracking. Hydrocracking represents an even larger growth area, since rising oil prices encourage oil companies to extract poorer source material, such as tar sands and oil shale. The scale economies inherent in large scale oil refining and fertilizer manufacture make possible on-site production and "captive" use. Smaller quantities of "merchant" hydrogen are manufactured and delivered to end users as well
