: The [[Yield (Chemistry)|yield]] can be improved by increasing the [[pressure]] inside the [[Reaction Vessel|reaction vessel]] which favours the forward [[Chemical Reaction|forward reaction]].
: The [[Haber Process]] is essential to modern [[agriculture]] as it produces [[Nitrogen]] based [[fertiliser]]s for [[crop]]s. Without this the [[soil]] would run out of [[Nitrate]]s and [[plant]]s would not longer be able to [[growth|grow]].
===Iron Catalyst and the Haber Process===
: The [[Iron]] [[catalyst]] increases the [[Rate of Reaction|rate of reaction]].
: However, this works for both the [[Forward Reaction|forward]] and [[Back Reaction|back reaction]] so it does not affect the [[Equilibrium Position|equilibrium position]].
