How does anhydrous ammonia (NH3) become plant food?
The plant food portion of NH3 is the “N” or nitrogen. When ammonia or other ammonia based forms of nitrogen is applied to the soil it must be broken down into a usable form that plants can take up and use as food called nitrates. This is also called nitrification and is part of the nitrogen cycle.
