Whois & Analysis for mosaicco.com

The Mosaic Company is a Fortune 500 company based in Plymouth, Minnesota, a Minneapolis suburb.

Mosaic mines two key crop nutrients—phosphate and potash—and produces specialty products MicroEssentials, K-Mag and Pegasus.

It is the largest U.S. producer of potash and phosphate fertilizer.

Potash is any of various mined and manufactured salts that contain potassium in water-soluble form.

The name derives from pot ash, which refers to plant ashes soaked in water in a pot, the primary means of manufacturing the product before the industrial era.

The word potassium is derived from potash.

Nitrogen is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7.

It was first discovered and isolated by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772.

Although Carl Wilhelm Scheele and Henry Cavendish had independently done so at about the same time, Rutherford is generally accorded the credit because his work was published first.

The name nitrogen was suggested by Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal in 1790, when it was found that nitrogen was present in nitric acid and nitrates; this name derives from the Greek roots νἰτρον "nitre" and -γεννᾶν "to form".

Antoine Lavoisier suggested instead the name azote, from the Greek άζωτικός "no life", as it is an asphyxiant gas; his name is instead used in many languages, such as French, Russian, and Turkish, and appears in the English names of some nitrogen compounds such as hydrazine, azides and azo compounds.

A phosphate is an inorganic chemical and a salt of phosphoric acid.

In organic chemistry, a phosphate, or organophosphate, is an ester of phosphoric acid.

Of the various phosphoric acids and phosphates, organic phosphates are important in biochemistry and biogeochemistry (ecology), and inorganic phosphates are mined to obtain phosphorus for use in agriculture and industry.

At elevated temperatures in the solid state, phosphates can condense to form pyrophosphates.

A fertilizer (American English) or fertiliser (British English) is any material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming materials) that is applied to soils or to plant tissues (usually leaves) to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants.
