Justus von Liebig was a German scientist who made major contributions to agricultural and biological chemistry, and is considered one of the principle founders of organic chemistry. As a professor at the University of Geissen, he devised the modern laboratory-oriented teaching method, and for such innovations, he is regarded as one of the greatest chemistry teachers of all time. He is described as the “father of the fertilizer industry” for his emphasis on nitrogen and trace minerals as essential plant nutrients, and his formulation of the law of the minimum, which described how plant growth relied on the scarcest resources available.
