Nitrogen is the plant nutrient most universally needed for high crop yields. The most abundant source of nitrogen is the inert gas N2, which constitutes approximately 78% of the earth's atmosphere. This gas is unusable by plants; it must be converted, either by industrial processes or by natural soil microorganisms, to forms a plant can take up.
