This book examines the history of commercial fertilizers, beginning with the Natural Guano craze of the 19th century which first introduced the concept of adding chemicals to the soil as a way to boost plant growth. The book describes how the fertilizer industry has grown over the last 150 years, pioneering new forms of plant food, synthetically creating fertilizers, and working to discover the right combination of plant nutrients. The author also looks at the ongoing challenges in fertilizer development, including the need for more sustainable methods and the challenges of increasing fertilizer costs for non-industrialized nations. This book will provide readers with a fascinating and informative look at this critical industry.
