New Information for Learning Outcome 1
•
Plants need certain elements to make them grow
properly. These three essential elements for plant
growth are:
1. Nitrogen (N)
2. Phosphorus (P)
3. Potassium (K)
•
These elements are found combined with other
elements in the soil – forming compounds called
minerals.
– E.g. Ammonium nitrate contains nitrogen,
potassium phosphate contains potassium and
phosphate.
•
Plants absorb water and dissolved minerals through
their roots. They cannot absorb insoluble minerals.
New Information for Learning Outcome 1
• Fertilisers are chemicals that provide plants with these
essential elements.
• They make crop plants grow faster and bigger, which increases
the crop yield.
• Since plants can only absorb minerals dissolved in water,
fertilisers must be soluble in water too.
• The world population is rising quickly, so we need to provide
more food – fertilisers help achieve this.

New Information for Learning Outcome 2
• As plants grow, they absorb dissolved minerals from the soil.
• If a farmer removes a plant, these minerals are removed from
the soil; and as this continues, minerals in soil decrease.
• So fertilisers are important because they replace essential
elements used by previous crops. In fact they may even
provide extra!
• E.g. Plants need nitrogen to make proteins, and when fertilisers
use nitrogen supplied by plants, these plants grow even more
than usual.
New Information for Learning Outcome 2
•
Many of the fertilisers used around the world are
ammonia based, which is made via the Haber
process which you have studies earlier.
•
These so called nitrogenous fertilisers include:
• Urea, (NH2)2CO
• Ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3
• Ammonium sulphate, (NH4)2SO4
• Ammonium phosphate, (NH4)3PO4
• Potassium nitrate, KNO3, is also nitrogenous –
but not made directly from ammonia
•
Ammonia could be used on its own too, as a supply
of nitrogen, due to its solubility. But isn't usually
due to its sharp smell when not in a compound.
New Information for Learning Outcome 2
• However, how are fertilisers made?
• Fertilisers are made by neutralising acids with alkali. For
example:
• Nitric acid + potassium hydroxide = potassium nitrate
• The ammonia based fertilisers made as follows:
• Ammonia + nitric acid = ammonium nitrate
• Ammonia + sulphuric acid = ammonium sulphate
• Ammonia + phosphoric acid = ammonium phosphate
New Information for Learning Outcome 2
• You will now name your own fertiliser:

Eutrophication
Yet another example of pollution, eutrophication is when lakes become
stagnant due to careless use of fertiliser. There are six steps:
1) Inorganic fertilisers
used on fields are
washed into the lake
3) This growth causes
overcrowding and many plants die
due to lack of enough light or food
2) The increase in nitrates or phosphates causes the over growth of
algae – producing a thick green layer called algal bloom
Eutrophication
4) Micro-organisms like aerobic
bacteria increase in number due to
the extra dead material
6) The lack of oxygen
causes the death of fish
and other aquatic animals
Can’t…breathe…
5) These micro-organisms
use up the oxygen in the
lake during respiration

over-use of fertilisers

Review for Remembering
• Stand up if you have met all three lesson
outcomes?
• If not what do you need to do next in order to
meet the outcome? Record this in your diary as
part of your homework.
• Is there any part of the lesson you think you
need to go over again next lesson?
• Tell the person next to you three things you have
learnt this lesson.
• How will you remember this for your exam?
