Well, large agribusiness and ready availability of fertiliser are sort of
dependennt on each other, so its not likely fertiliser would stop being
easily available, nop matter how many times it was used in bombs...

Few fertilizers, aside from the obvious ammonium nitrate, are much good for
bomb making. NH4NO3 is a particulatly efficient and convenient way to
deliver nitrogen, but it's certainly not the only one. If its distribution
were stopped, people might complain, but life would go on with little
disruption.

Although it's possible to make explosives from other fertilizers, I doubt
it would generally be worth the hassle.
