Fertilizers in agriculture Of course, fertilizers are especially important when it comes to agriculture, and are responsible for boosting crop yields. Fertilizer application is believed to have been responsible for at least 50 percent increase in crop yield in the 20th century, according to an article published in Agriculture in 2022.

Nutrients and irrigation speed up crop development, increase crop yield and prevent contamination. Compost: Compost improves and adds nourishment to the soil. However, it takes time to break these down and it's hard to predict the amount of nutrients available for the crop and when it will become available.

This pH adjustment can lead to improved crop yields and soil health. Composting with biochar: Mixing biochar with compost before application can enhance the composting process, resulting in a nutrient-rich amendment. Biochar helps retain nutrients during composting, improving the quality of the final product.

Black polyethylene “mulch film” gets tucked snugly around crop rows, clear plastic sheeting covers hoop houses, and most farmers use plastic seed trays, irrigation tubes, and fertilizer bags. These synthetic polymer products have often been used to help boost yields up to 60 percent and make water and pesticide use more efficient.
