These are fertilizers that contain nitrogen. Common examples are nitrates, like Ammonium Nitrate, Potassium nitrate, and Urea.

Nitrogen is useful to plants to produce cellulose and chlorophyll and they grow very vigorously when given nitrogen rich fertilizers.

Plants need large amounts of nitrogen to grow. Soils often don't have enough nitrogen for plants, especially farm crops, so many farmers apply a synthetic nitrogen fertilizer to the soil.

The Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, has determined agricultural soil management accounts for 2/3 of the nations human-induced nitrous oxide emissions, which contributes to global warming. Nitrous oxide gas is nearly 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

The nucleotides used to build DNA are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine. For RNA, there is no Thymine; it is replaced with another nucleotide called Uracil. These are actually the names of the nitrogenous bases that nucleotides contain. A nucleotide is made up of a Deoxyribose Sugar, a Phosphate Molecule, and a Nitrogenous Base. We refer to them though by the name of their nitrogenous base.
