2. The Chemical Fertilizers

The seeds were to increase productivity provided they got sufficient level of nutrients from the land. The level of nutrients they required could not be supplied with the traditional compostes because they have low concentration

of nutrients content and required bigger area while sowing—it meant it will be shared by more than one seed. That is why a high concentration fertilisers, were required, which could be given to the trageted seed only—the only option was the chemical fertilisers—urea (N), phosphate (P) and potash (K).20
