In North America and Europe, the combination of advanced mechanization systems, agrochemical inputs and plant breeding has produced an increase in farm production of such proportions that ultimately quotas on production had to be imposed to prevent the accumulation of massive food surpluses. The lesson from this experience is abundantly clear.
Major crop nutrient fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK)) are typically applied in powdered (small particles), granular (larger particles) or in liquid form either as individual or as compound fertilizers. The fertilizer may be applied using a combine (corn) drill where the seed is contained in one hopper and dry fertilizer in another behind it.
