nitrate d'ammoniaque en perles : Les services linguistiques de CIL ont adopté les expressions «en perles» et «perlé» en se basant sur l'ouvrage «Guide pratique de la fertilisation» par André Gros, Paris, La maison rustique, 1967, dans lequel l'auteur, au chapitre sur les engrais, propose l'adoption du terme «perle» pour traduire «prill».
