Fertilisers are only available to plants when moisture is available so it is not worthwhile feeding if adequate irrigation is not available.

Do fertilizers extend plant life during drought?
Fertilizers should not be applied during drought as this will lead to burning of the roots. The plants to be fed should be watered copiously well before fertilizer is applied an watering continued afterwards.
Do most plant die during a drought?
yes they do
What problems a plant might encounter during reproduction?
drought, wind, plant gets eaten, etc.
What is the effects of a drought on plant cells?
There are a few devastating effects that a drought can have on a plant. A drought can completely dry out a plant and kill it for example.
What are bio fertilizers?
Bio-fertilizers are substances which contain living microorganisms. When bio-fertilizers are applied to seeds or soil, they promote the growth of the plant by increasing plant nutrients.
What do fertilizers provide plant with what?
Nitrogen
Which conditions best model the effects of drought on plant cells?
We can model the effects of a drought with the characteristics of a plant in a hypertonic solution.
Does plants that have taproots survive better than a fibrous root plant in a drought?
Yes Because tap roots penetrate deeper in the soil and get enough capillary water to survive during drought.
Why would having a tap root be an advantage to a plant in an environment where there are long periods of drought?
Tap root being deep rooted can get water from the depth of the soil during long priods of drought
Do chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth?
Yes, chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the main components of artificial, chemical, inorganic, synthetic fertilizers. They're the nutrients that encourage both proper growth of plant body parts and overall growth of the plant in question.
How does artificial fertilizers work to exchange plant growth?
Artificial fertilizers provide radilly the essential elments like nitrogen, phosphorus and potash for plant growth.
What are the pros and the cons of modern fertilizers?
That they get plants through times of environmental stress and provide vital nutrients but that they have side effects and impact environmental quality are the respective pros and cons of modern fertililzers. Specifically, fertilizers can be critical in getting plants through such stressful times as extended drought. They in fact can make the difference between a drought stressed plant that is overwhelmed by opportunistic pests and a strong plant that withstands attack because of an ongoing supply of llife giving nutrients. But the result is achieved at quite a price. For example, fertilizers may have such side effects as rapidly unbalanced growth. Or they may impact environmental quality by decreasing nutrient and soil food web diversity in the soil.
