In agriculture, everything is mainly based on science. Every development and structure is composed of different cells and they all come together to create different reaction or output. Fertilizers use chemistry to determine the compounds needed to increase fertility of soil or crops. Chemistry helps check pH of soil and crops with the universal indicator and can help neutralise soil for the best growth of the plant. Waxes and chemical compounds like glycerine are widely used to package perishable fruits, not letting any moisture escape from the fruit. Chemistry is also applied in the heat and mass transfer in greenhouses, suspension systems in tractors and concentration in a chemical reactor.

Urea is a fertilizer high in N content and is found in nature because it’s made of animal urine. This fertilizer contains a controlled reaction of ammonia gas(NH3) and carbon dioxide(CO2). The chemical formula for Urea is CO(NH2)2, composed with 46% N and with a 1,080g/L H2O solubility. The fertilizer can be distributed as a fluid throughout the soil due to its high solubility. Hydrolysis occurs several days after the fertilizer has contact with the plant. The plant can use the a small portion of the urea as N, ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-). Lots of care should be put on the spots where Urea has been spread to minimize any N loss to the air, surface water, and groundwater. Any loss of N may cause loss of crop yield and quality. The use of Urea is also applied in power plants and diesel exhaust systems reducing emission of nitrous oxide (NOx)gases. Urea can also be used as a protein supplement given to ruminant animals such as
