Best Answer

It is in meeting only three of 16-17 nutrient needs and promoting faster than natural growth that chemical fertilizers may damage plants.

Specifically, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the three main nutrients that healthy plants and soils need. Chemical fertilizers cater to them as active ingredients over all others. Too much of these macronutrients may make it impossible for a plant to access other nutrients that are needed in smaller amounts but that are just as important. Additionally, chemical fertilizers tend to be applied fast, in large amounts and often. This sometimes works to make plants grow too fast and too soon.
