In the early 1900s, when the global supply of nitrogenous fertilizer was dwindling and worldwide hunger was a growing concern, BASF developed the Nobel prize-winning technique that allowed the mass production of affordable fertilizers. The process still accounts for 90 percent of the nitrogenous fertilizer produced today.
