fertilizer plant

Makes soil additives

A fertilizer plant is a factory that manufactures fertilizers—chemical or organic compounds used to enrich soil for agriculture.

The term is occasionally ambiguous, since a plant can also mean a living organism, leading to momentary confusion about whether someone means a facility or a nitrogen-fixing crop like clover.
