#NH4NO3
Our work on nitrogen nutrition impacts on grapevine esca leaf symptom, physiology and metabolism is now out in @jxbotany.bsky.social!

This paper is part of Ninon Dell’Acqua’s PhD work!👏

if you live in a place that isn't cool and won't let you have nitrates, with some simple electronics knowledge, you can make a Birkeland-Eyde Reactor, using artificial lightning to make nitric acid for synthetic fertilizer

Please, not Reform Ltd. The last thing UK needs is Brexit AND Reform. There would be queues at the top of Beachy Head.

Putin would get a state visit, and I would start hoarding NH4NO3 on an industrial scale.

“NH4NO3 is a product of ammonia (NH3) and nitric acid (HNO3), …high abundance of primary NH3 from agricultural sources. …HNO3 is formed from oxides of nitrogen (NOx = NO + NO2) through both daytime oxidation by the hydroxyl radical and nighttime oxidation by ozone”

Fertilizer is never mentioned

Und die Leute können sich nicht vorstellen, was 20kt NH4NO3 sind. Umgerechntet 8 Kilotonnen TNT! Das in Beirut waren nur 3 kt TN-Äquivalent. Wenn da was passiert. Das ist 60% der Power der Hiroshima-Atombombe...

Hab das nochmal kurz nachgerechnet…
Den einzigen Preis den ich für NH4NO3 finden konnte: 19€/kg=19.000€/t
Mal 20.000t = 380mio€
Aber in solchen Mengen ist das sicher günstiger… trotzdem viel Kohle aber keine 10Mrd$

고딩때 컴공이라 화학 하나도 모르겠고 NH4NO3, NH4CIO3 이게 모에용? 하는 중🫠 걍 일단 읽어 정리해 풀어 틀린 거 정리해 무한 반복 소방도 같이 하는데 겹치는 게 좀 있어서 일타이피 같은 느낌임ㅇㅇ

A deficit in nitrogen nutrition reduced esca leaf symptom expression in mature grapevines, probably through lower transpiration and higher secondary metabolism.

SO COOL! Tangentially, I still use your stat thermo demo videos regularly, especially the HCl Cannon and Sr(OH)2 + NH4NO3 “freezing” solid-state reaction. Great stuff.

No idea if they’re still on Coursera, but I made my own copies years ago. 😅🏴‍☠️

There was I, from the movement plot shown above, prepared to expect it loitered in international waters with its escort tug, until the tide was right to return loaded.

Dumping NH4NO3 at sea can’t be legal, but the article simply quotes the operator for reducing the safe risk before docking again.

NH4NO3 recipe can be found in any pre1970 diy farming book or chemistry text if you know how to look.

IN OTHER NEWS I just read about the destruction of Texas City, TX in the 40s and now you get to too:

April 16, 1947
It started with a small fire on the S.S. Grand Camp, a French cargo ship anchored off Texas City, TX. The ship had recently taken on 2380 tons of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) fertilizer.

El NH4NO3 es uno de los fertilizantes más peligrosos que tenemos en el laboratorio, here's why ⤵️

Se, mistä laiva lähti, on jatkuvasti NH4NO3-kuljetusten tuottaja. Toki Norjan rannikolla on NATO-tukikohtia (Stavanger), mutta siellä on tosi paljon rahtiliikennettä muutenkin.
Aina heti spekuloidaan pahinta. Jos olisi kiellettyä lastia/laiva, eihän Klaipedan telakka korjaisi ?

SE authorities are doing an inventory of which SE ports are able to unload fertilizer/bomb-ship RUBY.

Landskrona port of south Sweden have offered a ship to ship solution, ie away from populations.

Atm RUBY has no way to unload her 20k tons of NH4NO3, hence she is stationary.
