What are nitrates used for?

Nitrate is used as nitrogen fertilizer for plants to absorb. Nitrogen is not only the main component of amino acids and proteins, but also can synthesize chlorophyll and promote photosynthesis. Therefore, if plants are deficient in nitrogen, their leaves will turn yellow. Sodium nitrate and calcium nitrate are good nitrogen fertilizers. Potassium nitrate is the raw material for making black gunpowder. Ammonium nitrate can be used as fertilizer and explosives.
