It's not entirely true to say, "...regularly add nitrate fertilizers..." since farmers in the US generally select the kind of fertilizers to use based on the nutrient needs of the crop, timing of application, and price of the fertilizer material. Nitrate fertilizers are one form they can use to get nitrogen, possibly the single most important nutrient, to their crops. However, nitrates are not always the most appropriate form to use, and so they also use ammonium types such as urea or anhydrous ammonia.
