However, as nitrogen gas is inert, it remains unavailable to most organisms, including plants. Thus, in order to be useful for fertilizer production, gaseous nitrogen needs first to be converted into bioavailable organic nitrogen in processes which are inefficient and rate-limiting for agricultural pro- duction. It was not until about 100 years ago that BASF were able to produce synthetic ammonia, the main ingredient for fertilizer production, on an industrial scale from pressurized air using the Haber--Bosch process. This chemical process was not only an impressive technical feat that helped Haber (1918) and Bosch (1931) earn Nobel Prizes but also enabled farmers to achieve the high yields that drive modern agriculture.展开更多
