Etymology
The concept of using fertilizers to improve plant growth dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, who used animal manure to enhance soil fertility. The modern understanding of fertilizers and their chemical compositions developed in the 19th century with the discovery of the role of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in plant nutrition.
