Abstract

Growing sufficient quantities of the various crops needed to feed an everincreasing population is a challenge faced by many countries - particularly, developing and under-developed countries. The availability of fertile land, suitable climatic conditions, and good agricultural practices; combined with a variety of inputs such as high yielding seeds, fertilizers, pest control agents, irrigation etc., play vital roles in this respect. This article aims to give readers an introduction to chemical fertilisers, one of the most important external inputs in food production.
