How does a fertilizer with more nitrogen impact a growing plant?

Answer 1

Rapid growth of body parts may be a response to increased amounts of fertilizer to a plant. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium tend to be the main ingredients of artificial, chemical, inorganic, synthetic fertilizers. The three nutrients work together to quicken the pace of plant growth. Specifically, they target roots below ground and shoots above ground.

But the buds that produce fruits and flowers may get lost in the mad race for body parts to develop faster than naturally. It's easy for leaf and stem growth to take the lead. It equally becomes easy for budding and blooming to take a back seat. So flowers and fruits may be minimal, or even non-existent.

Answer 2

Eutrophication occurs:

Fertilisers (very soluble) are easily leached out of the soil, so when it's washed in the water, the algae absorb the fertilisers and it grows rapidly. It forms a blanket on the surface of the water, blocking light from the underneath algae. The underneath algea die without light, then the bacteria decomposes the dead algae, using up oxygen in water for respiration. Finally, the animals in water die through lack of oxygen...

Answer 3

Encouragement of above-ground growth, sometimes at the expense of flowering and fruiting, is how fertilizer with more nitrogen can impact a growing plant.

Specifically, nitrogen is one of the main nutrients needed by plants for healthy growth. But there can be such a thing as too much nitrogen, which leads to lush stems, stalks and leaves at the expense of flowering and fruiting. Additionally, the nitrogen must be taken in dissolved form. If there is more nitrogen but not an equivalent increase in soil moisture, then the nitrogen will not be taken in and actually can "burn" plant roots.
