∙ 12y agoIt depends on the type of chemical, for there are many types of poisonous chemicals that could kill a plant, mutate it, stop growth, or infect the plant. there is also a possibility that the chemical could absorb into the plant and infect other things through the soil, or if anything touched it. so, if that answers your question, then yes, chemicals can affect plant growth. ex: CO2 (carbon monoxide) would most likely kill a plant, if exposed for a while. but if only a small bit of CO2 was exposed to plant, it might only mutate or infect. i suppose some chemicals could be good for plants, such as straw berries you would buy from a store. they have chemicals on them to keep off bugs, for example, but after you buy it, you would want to wash off the chemicals so you could eat them.

A high concentration of auxins can inhibit plant growth Many of these compounds are used as what?
compare and contrast how the different concentration of auxins affects the plant growth?
Chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth but if the concentration is too high they may damage roots What precations concerning chemical fertilizers must a gardner take?
Chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth; but if the concentration is too high, they may damage roots. What precautions concerning chemical fertilizers must a gardener take?
What chemical needed for plant growth will be in short supply if the plant gets insufficient nitrates?
if plants don't get nitrates then their leaves will go yellow and have a stunted growth also the plant will wither and sometimes even die.
What do you call a plant response?
Phototropism, where the plant "turns" to arrange its leaves for better exposure to light. This process is regulated by growth regulators in the plant. Photo = light Tropism from the Greek "trope" or turning. See picture
Does the amount of fertilizer given to a plant effect the plant's growth?
The amount of fertilizer given to a plant can cause various affects in its growth. 1. If you are using a chemical fertilizer, such as Miracle Grow, too much of it can burn the plant. This can cause death of the plant. 2 Increased availability of nitrogen in fertilizers gives plants their green color and stimulates growth green parts of the plant, leaves and stems. But if we are going into late summer or winter, it's not a good idea to have a lot of new growth on your plant. 3 The phospherous in fertilzers aids in the production of flowers. It also gives strength to the stems. 4 Potassium aids in the strength of the stems as well and contributes to the overall hardiness of the plant. I know it does more than this, but I'm not sure what else. 5 Longterm habitual use of chemical fertilizers has a detrimental affect on the growth of plants. The reason for this is that chemical fertilizers contain a lot of salts. High amounts of salts in the soil retard nutrient uptake ability of the plant. It also makes it difficult for the plant to take up water. This results in poor health of the plant and eventually death. One way to remedy this is with gypsum. 6 There are also some trace elements in chemical fertilizers. These are necessary for plant health. However, many vital trace elements simply cannot be made available in chemical fertilizers. 7 In my five years experience as a landscape designer, I have witnessed the truth in claims that chemically fertilized plants are less healthy than those fertilized organically. Organically grown plants tend to have much less pest and disease problems, are much healthier, and in the long run, are much less work to maintain.

Do chemical fertilizers stimulate plant growth?
Yes, chemical fertilizers can stimulate plant growth by providing essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that plants need for healthy development. However, excessive use of chemical fertilizers can lead to nutrient imbalance and soil degradation. It is important to use fertilizers judiciously and consider organic alternatives for sustainable plant growth.

How does phosphate affects plant growth?
In plants, phosphate stimulates root growth and helps prevent disease.
How does dish detergent affect plant growth?
Dish detergent can harm plant growth by disrupting the plant's cell membranes and causing damage to its overall structure. The chemicals in the detergent may also interfere with the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. In high concentrations, dish detergent can be toxic to plants and lead to stunted growth, wilting, or even death.
