Kinda doesn’t make sense. The only fertilizer that is explosive, when mixed with diesel, is ammonia nitrate. You need a lot of it but it does work as was seen in Oklahoma City. But there is so much munitions in that area of the world seems unnecessary to haul around a bunch of fertilizer to make IEDs’.

Can I say something as a farmer and hay grower?
I don't believe there is a substitute for "ammonia nitrate" when it comes to growing plants.
Ammonia nitrate is normally used on the second or third spreading of fertilizer on the crop.
If you us triple 13 or other fertilizers, you run the risk of "burning the soil" and killing your plants with too much of some of the elements in fertilizer.
I've used ammonia nitrate with dynamite to blow stumps in fields when I was a teenager, and it's not much help.
Dynamite is better by itself for small explosions, but today a back-hoe is easier.
Ammonia nitrate is a useful tool for many farmers and cattle growers.
To try to control it tighter, will only drive up the cost of your food.
