N2  - The beneficial effect of adding mineral elements (e.g., plant ash or lime) to soils to improve plant growth has been known in agriculture for more than 2000 years. Nevertheless, even 150 years ago it was still a matter of scientific controversy as to whether mineral elements function as nutrients for plant growth. It was mainly to the credit of Justus von Liebig (1803-1873) that the scattered information concerning the importance of mineral elements for plant growth was compiled and summarized and that the mineral nutrition of plants was established as a scientific discipline. These achievements led to a rapid increase in the use of mineral fertilizers. By the end of the nineteenth century, especially in Europe, large amounts of potash, superphosphate, and, later, inorganic nitrogen were used in agriculture and horticulture to improve plant growth
