Triple Super Phosphate (TSP fertilizer) and Single Super Phosphate (SSP fertilizer) are two internationally important fertilizers. Their effectiveness comes from their high-quality available phosphorus content and other key plant nutrients like calcium and sulfur.
 
Why is phosphorus important for high crop yields?
Phosphorus (P) is vital for healthy plant growth. When phosphorus is deficient, plant cells cannot function properly. Key processes such as photosynthesis and the transfer and storage of energy in plants suffer.
Without adequate phosphorus, plants show signs of weak health and poor growth. Crops need a good supply of phosphorus at every stage of the growing cycle. Phosphate fertilizers are essential to plant growth. SSP fertilizer and TSP fertilizer enable good germination, optimum root development, and robust stalk and stem growth.
Healthy plants experience superior blooming and improved fruiting or grain formation. Correctly nourished plants are also more attractive to consumers, generally providing a greater nutrient density and tasting better. They also look more healthy and attractive on supermarket shelves. SSP and TSP fertilizers are both proven fertilizers that can enable high yield, high-quality harvests, even on marginal lands.
<img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4129" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/TSP-SSP-3.jpg" alt="" width="671" height="344" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/TSP-SSP-3.jpg 1024w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/TSP-SSP-3-300x154.jpg 300w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/TSP-SSP-3-768x394.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px" />
What is a TSP fertilizer?
To produce TSP, the phosphate rock powder is mixed with phosphoric acid. TSP fertilizer chemical composition is:
46% P2O5 – is an excellent source of phosphorus.
17% CaO – contains calcium, which is also a plant nutrient.
Triple super phosphate benefits
TSP fertilizer has a higher proportion of phosphorus than its SSP counterpart. It is usually broadcast directly onto the soil, or banded below and to the side of the seed row. TSP is traditionally used for the fertilization of leguminous crops (soybean, alfalfa, beans), where no additional N fertilization is needed to supplement biological N fixation.
 
What is an SSP fertilizer?
To produce SSP fertilizer, the phosphate rock is reacted with sulfuric acid. SSP fertilizer composition is:
20% P2O5
12% S
31% CaO
A key component of SSP fertilizer is sulfur. SSP is ideal for use on soils that have a sulfur deficiency, or with crops that have high requirements for sulfur as well as phosphorus. SSP is an ideal non-nitrogen phosphate fertilizer for leguminous crops like legumes (alfalfa, clover, soybean) which can obtain their own nitrogen supply from the air by symbiotic fixation. It is also ideal for Cruciferae (canola, rapeseed) which have a high demand for sulfur.
Single super phosphate benefits
SSP fertilizer granules are ideal for spreading on pastures that feed cattle or sheep. The sulfur component of SSP fertilizer encourages the growth of pasture legumes, raising both the feed value to the livestock and the nitrogen levels needed by pasture grasses.
<img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4127" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/TSP-SSP-1.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/TSP-SSP-1.jpg 904w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/TSP-SSP-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/TSP-SSP-1-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Phosphate Fertilizer for Sustainable Agriculture
The final step in the production process is granulation. The powdered fertilizer mix is compressed into uniform, ready-to-use granules of TSP and SSP fertilizers.
TSP and SSP were among the first high-analysis fertilizers to become widely used in the 20th century to provide a reliable source of phosphorus for many types of crops. Farmers have always appreciated the powerful TSP and SSP fertilizers.
Both fertilizers are highly soluble, and easily deliver phosphorus and other nutrients like calcium and sulfur to the root.
 
TSP and SSP Fertilizers
The high quality TSP and SSP fertilizers are simple to add to soils, and the phosphorus is rapidly available for plant uptake. Farmers apply TSP or SSP to the soil just before or during crop planting or seed sowing. The fertilizers can be incorporated into the soil by using cultivation tools or even by inserting the granules at the required depth using specialist applicators or planters.
TSP and SSP can be bulk blended with most other granular fertilizers to form customized formulas that suit the nutrition plans for particular crops or systems. The exceptions are urea and calcium nitrate which should not be blended with TSP and SSP.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3886" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/沼渣肥-4.jpg" alt="" width="766" height="283" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/沼渣肥-4.jpg 1920w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/沼渣肥-4-300x111.jpg 300w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/沼渣肥-4-1024x379.jpg 1024w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/沼渣肥-4-768x284.jpg 768w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/沼渣肥-4-1536x568.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px" />
Biogas residue is the solid residue after anaerobic fermentation in a biogas digester. It is rich in organic matter, nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and trace elements. It is a high-quality raw material for the preparation of organic fertilizers and organic-inorganic compound fertilizers, and is also an important way to utilize agricultural wastes.
The main sources of biogas residue:
Biogas residue is the solid residue after biogas fermentation. Its main source is closely related to the raw materials of biogas production, including the following aspects:
<h6>1. Agricultural waste and livestock and poultry manure</h6>
1.1 Livestock and poultry manure : 
Manure from livestock and poultry such as pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens is one of the main raw materials for biogas fermentation. This type of manure has a high organic matter content. After anaerobic fermentation to produce biogas, the remaining solid part is the biogas residue. For example, in the centralized manure treatment system of large-scale farms, manure is mixed with water and then enters the biogas digester, and the biogas residue and liquid are separated after fermentation.
1.2 Crop straw and agricultural waste : 
The straw of crops such as rice, corn, and wheat, as well as vines, weeds, and agricultural product processing waste (such as corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse, etc.) mixed with livestock and poultry manure for fermentation will also produce biogas residue. This type of raw material is rich in cellulose, and the solid matter remaining after fermentation contains more crude fiber and minerals.
<h6>2. Industrial organic waste</h6>
2.1 Food processing waste : 
organic waste generated by food factories, breweries, starch factories, sugar factories, etc., such as fruit residues, wine lees, starch residues, sugarcane bagasse, etc. These wastes have high organic matter concentrations and will produce biogas residues after anaerobic fermentation. For example, the wine lees produced during the brewing process enter the biogas digester, and the biogas residues are separated after fermentation.
2.2 Agricultural product processing waste : 
such as residual leaves and peels after vegetable processing, cakes and meal after oil-pressing of oil crops (such as soybean meal and peanut meal), etc., if used for biogas fermentation, will also become the source of biogas residue.
<h6>3. Domestic organic waste</h6>
3.1 Sludge from urban sewage treatment plants : 
After urban domestic sewage is treated, the remaining sludge contains a large amount of organic matter. Through anaerobic digestion (biogas fermentation), biogas can be produced and biogas residue can be formed. This type of biogas residue needs to be tested for heavy metals and harmful substances. If it meets the standards, it can be used for organic fertilizer production.
3.2 Kitchen waste and catering waste : 
catering waste and household kitchen waste (such as vegetable residues, leftovers, etc.) can produce biogas through anaerobic fermentation when they are centrally processed. The solid part after fermentation is biogas residue. This type of biogas residue needs to be sorted, disinfected and other pre-processing to avoid impurities affecting subsequent utilization.
<h6>4. Other organic waste</h6>
For example, forestry processing waste (sawdust, bark, etc., which need to be crushed and fermented), animal husbandry bedding (such as straw bedding in livestock pens), etc., may also produce biogas residue after being mixed with other raw materials and fermented.

The processing of the above biogas residue into organic fertilizer and organic-inorganic compound fertilizer:
Key steps of biogas residue fermentation
1. Raw material preparation: Collect biogas residue and perform appropriate pretreatment, such as adjusting moisture, crushing, etc., for better fermentation process.
2. Fermentation process: Mix the treated biogas residue with an appropriate amount of fermentation agent and pile it in the fermentation site. By controlling the temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions, the reproduction and metabolic activities of microorganisms are promoted, thereby accelerating the decomposition and transformation of biogas residues.
3. Fermentation is completed: After a certain period of fermentation, the organic matter in the biogas residues is fully decomposed and the nutrients are effectively released. At this time, the fermented material is loose and odorless.

Granulation Process of Fermented Biogas Residue:
Selection of raw materials: Choose the fermented biogas residue as raw materials.
Crushing: The fermented biogas residue is crushed into even suitable size for organic fertilizer granulation.
Screening and granulation: The crushed material is screened and granulated to form uniform particles for easy application and transportation.
Drying and cooling: The granulated fertilizer is dried and cooled to reduce its moisture content and improve storage stability.
Coating: Qualified granular finished products add conditioning agents, etc. or change the colour.
Packaging and storage: Finally, the dried and cooled organic fertilizer is packaged and stored, waiting for transportation and sale.

Conclusion
Implementing a digester creates a valuable opportunity for farms to create an additional stream of revenue, not only through biogas capture, but also through granulating the fermented biogas residue into granular fertilizer.

What is urea?
Urea is the chief nitrogenous end product of the metabolic breakdown of proteins in all mammals and some fishes. It occurs not only in the urine of mammals but also in their blood, bile, milk, and perspiration.
 
What is the chemical name of urea?
The chemical name of urea is carbamide, the diamide of carbonic acid. Its formula is CO(NH2)2.
 
Who first synthesized urea?
German chemist Friedrich Wöhler first synthesized urea from ammonium cyanate in 1828. It was the first generally accepted laboratory synthesis of a naturally occurring organic compound from inorganic materials. Urea is now prepared commercially in vast amounts from liquid ammonia and liquid carbon dioxide.
 
What is urea used for?
Urea is used as a fertilizer and feed supplement, as well as a starting material for the manufacture of plastics and drugs.
 
More details:
Urea, the diamide of carbonic acid. Its formula is CO(NH2)2. Urea has important uses as a fertilizer and feed supplement, as well as a starting material for the manufacture of plastics and drugs. It is a colourless, crystalline substance that melts at 132.7° C (271° F) and decomposes before boiling.
Urea is the chief nitrogenous end product of the metabolic breakdown of proteins in all mammals and some fishes. The material occurs not only in the urine of all mammals but also in their blood, bile, milk, and perspiration. In the course of the breakdown of proteins, amino groups (NH2) are removed from the amino acids that partly comprise proteins. These amino groups are converted to ammonia (NH3), which is toxic to the body and thus must be converted to urea by the liver. The urea then passes to the kidneys and is eventually excreted in the urine.
Urea was first isolated from urine in 1773 by the French chemist Hilaire-Marin Rouelle. Its preparation by the German chemist Friedrich Wöhler from ammonium cyanate in 1828 was the first generally accepted laboratory synthesis of a naturally occurring organic compound from inorganic materials. Urea is now prepared commercially in vast amounts from liquid ammonia and liquid carbon dioxide. These two materials are combined under high pressures and elevated temperatures to form ammonium carbamate, which then decomposes at much lower pressures to yield urea and water.
Because its nitrogen content is high and is readily converted to ammonia in the soil, urea is one of the most concentrated nitrogenous fertilizers. An inexpensive compound, it is incorporated in mixed fertilizers as well as being applied alone to the soil or sprayed on foliage. With formaldehyde it gives methylene–urea fertilizers, which release nitrogen slowly, continuously, and uniformly, a full year’s supply being applied at one time. Although urea nitrogen is in nonprotein form, it can be utilized by ruminant animals (cattle, sheep), and a significant part of these animals’ protein requirements can be met in this way. The use of urea to make urea–formaldehyde resin is second in importance only to its use as a fertilizer. Large amounts of urea are also used for the synthesis of barbiturates.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3846 aligncenter" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-1.png" alt="" width="765" height="214" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-1.png 2096w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-1-300x84.png 300w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-1-1024x286.png 1024w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-1-768x215.png 768w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-1-1536x429.png 1536w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-1-2048x573.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px" />
 
Why is it important to a farmer?
Although only required in small amounts, minor nutrients (micronutrients or trace elements) are essential for plant growth. These nutrients often act as catalysts in chemical reactions. It is possible to have toxicities of trace elements, as well as deficiencies.
 
Why do we need trace elements?
Sixteen nutrients are known to be essential for plant growth. They can be divided into two categories: Major nutrients (macronutrients) and Minor nutrients (micronutrients), often referred to as trace elements.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3848" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-4.png" alt="" width="458" height="380" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-4.png 820w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-4-300x249.png 300w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/微量元素-4-768x637.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" />
 
Managing the application of trace elements
It usually takes a combination of local knowledge, tissue testing and strip tests to resolve exactly what elements are required. As well as nutrients and organic matter, animal manures contain a wide range of trace minerals that may be useful in correcting deficiencies.
Molybdenum (Mo)
Liming makes Mo held in the soil more available, but application of Mo is generally much cheaper than liming unless the soil pH also needs correction. Typical application rates are 0.05 kg Mo/ha every 5-7 years.
 
Copper (Cu)
Rates of 1.5 to 2 kg Cu/ha applied as fertilizer every 3 to 6 years are required for deficient soils.
 
Zinc (Zn)
Deficiencies may be temporarily induced by cold, wet weather and have been noted to disappear with the onset of warmer weather.
 
Manganese (Mn)
Manganese deficiency can be treated by applying manganese sulphate.
 
Iron (Fe)
Deficiencies usually occur on high-pH calcareous soils or in soils that have been heavily limed.
 
Boron (B)
If plant tissue analysis indicates a deficiency, then apply born with a fertilizer application and retest in 2 to 3 years.
 
Selenium (Se)
Where Se deficiencies in animals is diagnosed, the application of Se onto the pasture may be the most economic ways of getting it into the animal.

DIGESTATE TREATMENT: GRANULATION INCREASES VALUE 
With the primary focus of most facilities implementing a digester being the resulting biogas, the solids remaining after digestion have historically been considered a waste stream to be managed. However, because the digestion process concentrates nutrients and converts them to a more plant-available form, the solids remaining after digestion are essentially an upgraded source of nutrients, making their reuse more enticing.
While some farms are able to use a portion of the digestate as-is, it faces many of the same challenges associated with raw manure – costly transport, limited storage options, and more. As a result, on farms with the capacity to justify the cost, most choose to take the additional step of granulating their digestate, further upgrading its value.
By granulating digestate into a dry fertilizer product, farmers can eliminate waste management challenges and significantly increase the value and marketability of the product, creating an additional source of revenue, all while operating more sustainably and reducing their carbon footprint.
 
THE DIGESTATE GRANULATION PROCESS 
The granulation of digestate differs depending on the specific type of manure and various on-farm practices and technologies. First however, all digestate must go through a solid/liquid separation process.
SOLID/LIQUID SEPARATION (AND NUTRIENT CAPTURE) 
After digestion and biogas capture, the remaining “digestate” is in the form of a slurry. This slurry has a high moisture content and can vary in consistency, making it an unsuitable feedstock for the granulation process.
A solid/liquid separation process such as dewatering is necessary to separate the solid from the liquid component. The resulting streams consist of a “nutrient cake” (the solid portion) and the extracted liquid portion, “tea water,” which can be used as a liquid fertilizer or employed in other non-potable uses on the farm. Once solid/liquid separation is complete, the granulation process can begin.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-3840" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/沼渣脱水.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="425" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/沼渣脱水.jpg 800w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/沼渣脱水-300x188.jpg 300w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/沼渣脱水-768x480.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" />
 
PRECONDITIONING 
If the nutrient cake is non-uniform in particle size distribution and/or moisture content after solid/liquid separation, some pretreatment such as grinding or additional drying may be necessary.
MIXING AND GRANULE FORMATION 
Mixing and granule formation are carried out in a mixer. Any binder or beneficial additives can also be incorporated in this step.
Because the nutrient cake still has a fairly high moisture content, a high rate of recycle (dried material) is required to blend with the incoming wet feed to improve the flowability and bring it into a suitable moisture content for granulation. This process of mixing in dried recycle is also known as “back mixing.”
The kneading action of the mixer incorporates the wet material into the dry recycle, creating a homogeneous blend and breaking apart any clumps that may have formed. As the material moves down the length of the mixer, the mixing action causes rough granules to form. These granules can move on to drying, or they can be further refined in a granulation drum.
DRYING, SCREENING, AND COOLING 
Once granules have been formed, they move on to drying, screening, and often cooling. Drying may be carried out in either a rotary dryer or fluid bed dryer.
A crusher breaks down screened over-size material, which is then combined with the under-size to be fed back into the process as recycle.
The resulting product is a dry, granular fertilizer that can be sold at a premium.

CONCLUSION 
Implementing a digester creates a valuable opportunity for farms to create an additional stream of revenue, not only through biogas capture, but also through granulating the resulting solids. By granulating the concentrated nutrient cake remaining after digestion and solid/liquid separation, farms can create a saleable product.

What is Magnesium?
Soil nutrients come in three basic categories: macro, meso and microelements depending on the quantity in which the plants need them. Magnesium (Mg) is an essential meso nutrient, along with calcium (Ca) and sulfur (S).
Magnesium is a very mobile element that is important for plant growth and development. Its availability in soil depends on multiple factors: the source rock material, the degree of weathering, local climate and the specific agricultural system and its management practices.
How do plants use Magnesium?
Magnesium is an essential element throughout the whole growth period of a plant. Magnesium fulfills several functions within the plant. It is a central component of chlorophyll which is supporting the function to absorb sunlight during photosynthesis. Magnesium acts as a phosphorus carrier in plants and is essential for phosphate metabolism.
Furthermore, it is also needed for cell division and protein formation, activation of several enzyme systems and is an essential component for plant respiration. In short, without magnesium, chlorophyll cannot capture solar energy for photosynthesis and the important metabolic functions related to carbohydrates and cell membrane stabilization cannot be performed by the plant.

What are the signs of magnesium deficiencies?
Magnesium deficiency commonly occurs in intensively used agricultural soils, but it can also be caused by weathering of soil. It is often seen in sandy, strongly leached and acid soils.
It is not easy to recognize Mg deficiency based on the symptoms. Due to its mobility within the plant, Mg deficiency symptoms will appear on the lower and older leaves first, before the symptoms become visible on the younger leaves.
Common deficiency symptoms include:
<ul>
<li>slow growth and leaves to turn yellow, especially on the outer edges, which then developinterveinal chlorosis</li>
<li>newly growing leaves may become yellow with dark spots</li>
<li>purple or reddish spots on the leaves</li>
</ul>

Common magnesium fertilizers
Magnesium fertilizers are divided into water-soluble magnesium fertilizers and slightly soluble magnesium fertilizers. The former include magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, and potassium magnesium fertilizers; the latter mainly include ammonium magnesium phosphate, calcium magnesium phosphate, dolomite and magnesite.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Calcium is one of the most important and effective elements in the growth and improvement of productivity and quality of agricultural crops.
Calcium element is a slow-moving nutrient in both plant and soil. And the calcium element movement is in one direction, from bottom to top, and is linked to the movement of transpiration and the water column. It needs additions of this element either as soil and foliar application in the same time. The absorption of calcium by young fruits is several times than older fruits, which necessitates to use of calcium in the early stages of fruit life.
Calcium is found in different forms of compounds, such as liquid calcium nitrate，soluble calcium nitrate, granulated calcium nitrate, and calcium chloride.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-3811 aligncenter" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/钙肥.png" alt="" width="466" height="527" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/钙肥.png 733w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/钙肥-265x300.png 265w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
 
Calcium play a vital role in fertilization programs as follows:
1-The role of calcium in improving soil structure and reducing salt content 
Under the conditions of saline soils and water in which contains high amount of sodium and chloride ions. In addition, sodium is considered one of the chemically active elements that, leads to breakdown of the layers between the soil particles, which in turn leads to the dispersal of the soil particles and the soil structure with lack of permeability and poor drainage. The use of the calcium element leads to a reduction from the harmful effect of salts in the soil by replacing sodium with calcium, which leads to improving soil structure, improving aeration and soil permeability, and improving drainage.
 
2-The role of calcium in improving the growth of roots and meristematic parts of the plant 
Calcium plays a vital role in the formation of the middle lamella, which is the basic layer for formation of cell walls, where pectic acid reacts inside the plant to form insoluble calcium pectate, which is considered the main component of the middle lamella inside the plant. Hence, the importance of calcium in the active, fast-growing parts such as the stem meristem and root hairs is also clear. In addition, root hairs receive high concentrations of calcium to speed up the growth and development of these hairs and increase their ability to penetrate soil particles, which leads to the formation of a strong root system, Subsequently leads to increased plant stability and increased efficiency of absorption of nutrients while increasing the ability of the root system to resist fungal, bacterial and nematode diseases found in the soil.
 
 3- The role of calcium on pollination, fertilization and increasing fruit set and reducing fruit drop.
Calcium is one of the most important elements necessary for the plant, especially during pollination and fertilization, because it has an important role on pollen grains germination, increases pollen tube growth and increases ovules viability. The presence of high concentrations of calcium in the petioles of the fruits reduces the formation of abscission zone that form in the petioles of the fruits. Hence, increasing the number of fruit set, reducing the percentage of fruit drop, and increasing yield and improving quality of fruit.
 
4-The role of calcium in physiological disorder diseases.
Calcium is considered one of the most important and necessary nutritional elements in the resistance of fruits to physiological disorder diseases, such as cracking in citrus and pomegranates fruits, blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers, and bitter pit in apples. These diseases appear as a result of a deficiency of calcium in fruits, especially in the early stages of fruits, where the presence of calcium leads to an increase in cell division, and final size of fruits. Hence, increased calcium concentrations in the fruits also lead to an increase in fruits’ resistance to fungal, insect and bacterial diseases, while increasing their storage ability.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>How fertilizer increases crop production and strengthens nutrition security</div>
<div>
<div>Agriculture already uses much of our available land (some studies show it’s more than 40%), and without fertilizer to boost crop growth in cultivated areas, we would need to convert significantly more land to meet demand.</div>
<div>
<div>However, over the past 40 years, farmers have actually been able to more than double their production on roughly the same amount of acreage. This is thanks, in part, to fertilizer.</div>
<div>
<div><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3804" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Fertilizer-Improves-Lives-1.webp" alt="" width="600" height="337" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Fertilizer-Improves-Lives-1.webp 600w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Fertilizer-Improves-Lives-1-300x169.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></div>
<div>
<div>Replenishing the Nutrition Chain</div>
<div>
<div>Topsoil. It’s the most fertile part of the land, yet it only goes down a few inches. And these precious few inches are where our crops get the nutrients they need to grow. They are also some of the very nutrients we will eventually eat to stay healthy.</div>
<div>
<div>After harvest, the soil is depleted. While some nutrients can be replenished naturally, it’s often over a long period of time and so not available for new crops as soon as required. Fertilizer restores the viability of the topsoil which helps nourish the food that nourishes us.</div>
<div><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3805" src="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Fertilizer-Improves-Lives-2.webp" alt="" width="600" height="337" srcset="https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Fertilizer-Improves-Lives-2.webp 600w, https://www.emccindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Fertilizer-Improves-Lives-2-300x169.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></div>
<div>
<div></div>
<div>Raising Grain</div>
<div>
<div>One of the most important roles fertilizer plays in world agriculture is increasing production of staple crops such as wheat, soybeans, corn, rice, oats, sorghum and millet.</div>
<div>
<div>Let’s look at some numbers. Between 1965 and 2015, world grain production rose from less than 0.6 tons per harvested acre to more than 1.4 tons. Basically, we’re able to grow more than twice as much food on a single acre than we could 40 years ago. And while food production has been able to keep up with demand, the ever rising population could potentially put a strain on our agricultural system.</div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>About Fertilizers</h2>
Fertilizers are used across the globe to support sustainable agricultural production, and it is estimated that half the food we eat is produced thanks to mineral fertilizers.

Food and nutrition security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food. The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that around 9.9% of the world population (768 million people) were undernourished in 2020. At the same time, micronutrient deficiencies affect an estimated 2 billion people globally.
Producing enough food, feed, fiber and bioenergy for a world population of almost 10 billion people by 2050 requires an increase of agricultural production of at least 50%. Because it must be achieved without expanding the cropped area in order to avoid greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity losses associated with deforestation and other land use changes, crop yields must be enhanced. This cannot be accomplished without fertilizers, which will replace nutrients removed from cropland with the harvested product.

The fertilizer industry recommends prioritizing sustainable intensification (growing more food on the same amount of land with reduced effects on the environment) as one of the most resource-efficient solutions to managing land use and avoiding further deforestation.

While producing enough calories is vital, nutritional of food quality must be improved by supporting production of harvests rich in proteins, essential amino acids and fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and other compounds of importance for human nutrition and health.
Fertilization practices can help address zinc (Zn), iodine (I) and selenium (Se) deficiencies in humans, which are largely correlated to deficiencies in those nutrients in soils. Fertilizers enriched with Zn, I or Se, applied to the soil or through foliar sprays, can sharply increase grain density in these nutrients for the benefit of human health. While Zn enrichment benefits crop yields, Se and I enrichment requires incentives to encourage adoption.
