Fertilizer: Fertilize "weakly, weekly".
Farmers in this part of the study use enormous amount of fertilizers to improve their productivity.
Cotton fibers have the highest impact on terrestrial eutrophication (as shown in Fig. 5), since their production requires enormous amounts of fertilizers, one of the main sources of nitrogen [41].
WEST, Texas, April 15 (Reuters) - Not far from an enormous crater where a fertilizer plant stood before an explosion there killed 15 people, lifeless and uprooted trees surround boarded-up homes spray-painted with "OK".
Maize (Zea mays) is an important human food, animal feed and energy crop throughout the world, and enormous quantities of phosphate fertilizer are required for maize cultivation.
Low phosphate concentrations are frequently a constraint for maize growth and development, and therefore, enormous quantities of phosphate fertilizer are expended in maize cultivation, which increases the cost of planting.
From there, the commercial production of enormous quantities of nitrogenous fertilizers was a relatively easy matter.
Burning crop residues and excessive use of chemical fertilizers results in an enormous waste of biological resources, which further weakens the potential capacity of the agro-ecosystem as a carbon sink.
A fertilizer factory is, typically, a large installation, characterized by enormous storage silos; the product is manufactured all the year round, but it requires considerable space to store it until the few weeks during which it is distributed on farmlands.
One response to those needs the so-called Green Revolution has achieved enormous improvements in agricultural yield through the use of chemical fertilizers, pest and plant-disease control, plant breeding, and mechanized tilling, harvesting, and crop processing.
