La scienca esplorado de sterko komencis en la ''Rothamsted Experimental Station'' en 1843 fare de [[John Bennet Lawes]]. Li esploris la efikon de neorganika kaj organika sterkoj super rikoltoj kaj fondis unu el la unuaj fabrikoj de artefaritaj sterkoj en 1842. Sterkoj, ĉe la kuŝejoj de [[natria nitrato]] en [[Ĉilio]], estis importita al Britio de [[John Thomas North]] same kiel la [[guano]] (birdofekaĵoj). La unua komerca procezo por sterkoproduktdo estis la atingo de ''[[fosfato]]'' el la dissolvo de [[koprolito]]j en [[sulfata acido]].<ref name="pdmhs.com">Coprolite Fertilizer Industry in Britain [http://www.pdmhs.com/PDFs/ScannedBulletinArticles/Bulletin%2014-5%20-%20The%20Origins%20and%20Development%20of%20the%20British%20.pdf] Alirita la 3an de Aprilo 2012</ref>

[[Dan Albone]] konstruis la unuan komerce sukcesan benzin-energian traktoron de ĝeneralaj celoj en 1901, kaj la traktoro ''Farmall'' de 1923 de [[International Harvester]] markis ŝlosilan punkton en la anstataŭo de tiranimaloj (ĉefe ĉevaloj) pere de maŝinoj. Ekde tiam, mem-pelitaj mekanikaj rikoltiloj ([[Kombajno|kombajnoj]]), plantiloj, transplantiloj kaj alia ekiparo estis disvolvigita, plie revoluciante agrikulturon.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/hort_306/text/lec32.pdf |title=Agricultural Scientific Revolution: Mechanical |author=Janick, Jules |publisher=Purdue University |accessdate=24a de Majo 2013}}</ref> Tiuj inventoj ebligis ke farmotaskoj estu faritaj rapide je skalo antaŭe malebla, kio kondukis al fakto ke modernaj farmoj produktu multe pli grandajn volumojn de alt-kvalitaj produktoj por terunuo.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.nae.edu/Publications/Bridge/52548/52645.aspx |title=The Impact of Mechanization on Agriculture |journal=The Bridge on Agriculture and Information Technology |date=2011 |volume=41 |number=3 |author=Reid, John F.}}</ref>

La [[procezo Haber|metodo Haber-Bosch]] por sintezigi [[ammonium nitrate]] represented a major breakthrough and allowed [[crop yields]] to overcome previous constraints. It was first patented by German chemist [[Fritz Haber]]. In 1910 [[Carl Bosch]], while working for German chemical company [[BASF]], successfully commercialized the process and secured further patents. In the years after [[World War II]], the use of synthetic fertilizer increased rapidly, in sync with the increasing world population.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fertilizer.org/ifa/HomePage/SUSTAINABILITY/Climate-change/A-historical-perspective.html |title=A Historical Perspective |publisher=International Fertilizer Industry Association |accessdate=7 May 2013}}</ref>
