Tie-in Material Information
edit- According to Encyclopedia Galactica (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):
- Growing plants take nitrogen from the soil and combine it into plant structures in order to grow. On many planetary surfaces, there is no natural way to replace the lost nitrogen in less than twenty yahren even though nitrogen may be present as a gas in the atmosphere. When growing populations made it impossible to shift cultivation to different fields each year (sic), the Colonists developed various fertilizers. The type still in use today is the forced nitron pipeline that delivers nitrogen in a usable compound directly to the roots of each growing plant along with water and other essential nutrients.[1]
