Lightning produces 40 thousand tons of nitrogen fertilizer every year

There is a lot of nitrogen in the air, and every lightning can convert the nitrogen in the air into nitrogen fertilizer, which is equivalent to 80 kilograms. In this way, the nitrogen fertilizer produced by lightning falls to the ground one year, about 438 million tons.

Crops mainly need three influencing factors, phosphorus and potassium. It seems that lightning is good for agricultural production.

Lightning is also a gift and benefit of nature.

1. It brings us the nitrogen fertilizer needed for crop growth, because when lightning is generated, the elements in the air will be separated by electrolysis, and when they recombine, nitrogen and oxygen will combine into nitrite and nitrate molecules, which will dissolve in the rain and fall to the ground to form natural nitrogen fertilizer. According to the calculation of relevant institutions, 400 million tons of nitrogen fertilizer will be produced every year in the global lightning weather, and it is estimated that an average of 2 kilograms of nitrogen fertilizer will fall per mu.

2. It can promote the growth rate of crops. Through the potential difference generated by lightning, the photosynthesis of crops is accelerated and the respiration is enhanced. According to statistics, if there are 5-6 thunderstorms during the growth of crops, the maturity of crops can be advanced by about one week.

3. Negative oxygen ions can be increased. Negative oxygen ions can sterilize and purify the air. After a thunderstorm, the concentration of negative oxygen ions will increase. So we will feel that after the thunderstorm, the air will be particularly fresh and refreshing.
