What are the advantages and the disadvantages of synthetic fertilizers?

Answer 1

They are chemically cheaper to mass produce than natural fertilizer.

Honestly, the advantages of Organic Agriculture far surpass the price differential.

I use pulverized sea shells and sea water as fertilizer, and it is quite literally like "Miracle Grow."

Answer 2

AdvantagesFaster growing times and more products tend to be the advantages of using artificial fertilizer. Specifically, the artificial fertilizers tend to be called 'NPK' fertilizers. That's because they're high on nitrogen [N], phosphorus [P], and potassium [K]. The three nutrients respectively are responsible for root development below ground, shoot growth above ground, and flowering and fruiting. That's why putting 'NPK' in the soil jump starts overall plant growth and favors greater harvests. Disadvantages

Improper use can contaminate soil for years and the nutrients can be lost in runoff water, causing water pollution. They can also be expensive, though good farmers only apply enough to reach the point of diminishing returns.

Some have suggested that synthetic fertilizers might contribute to loss of soil structure, but numerous studies have shown that tillage practices and the consequential loss of soil organic matter are by far the primary cause.

Answer 3

That they make necessary nutrients available to soils and roots and that they control pest problems are respective advantages of fertilizers and pesticides.

Specifically, fertilizers contain nutrient ingredients that are critical to plant, soil and soil food web health. These nutrients exist in the soil, but sometimes in inaccessible forms or inadequate amounts. Fertilizers give plants the strength to survive pests that pesticides control or eliminate.

Answer 4

That they help plants grow strong by making nutrients available in the most accessible forms and places is an advantage of fertilizers.

Specifically, fertilizers give plants the nutrients that they need to grow strong fast. They help out when soils are poor. They see to it that plants have strong roots and properly sized and timed flowers and fruits.

Answer 6

Appearance and well-being count among the advantages of plant fertilizers. Fertilizers historically function to correct nutrient deficiencies in soil food webs and in soils. The 20th and 21st centuries see them applied more to claim attractive, lush, quick growth of marketable edibles and ornamentals than to correct permanent or temporary plant and soil problems.

Answer 7

It is good for the crop, but bad for the environment.
