Well, the form of ammonia (referred to as NH3 in the opening post) I was referring to, would be in the form of anhydrous ammonia.

The Wiki person says:

"Approximately 83% (as of 2004) of ammonia is used as fertilizers either as its salts, solutions or anhydrously. When applied to soil, it helps provide increased yields of crops such as maize and wheat. 30% of agricultural nitrogen applied in the USA is in the form of anhydrous ammonia and worldwide 110 million tons are applied each year."

Now, back on the farm ..... I would shank anhydrous ammonia in between the corn rows and it would make the corn grow real well and make lots of corn .... then I would feed the corn to the cows and hogs ..... then eat the ribs & steaks ... Ymmm....Ymmm.
