What can increase levels of phosphate in a stream?

What is one problem caused by chemical fertilizers?
Examples: pollution of waters and eutrophication.
Are fertilizers good for water?
No!!! In my opinion, I think that fertilizers are horrible to our limited drinking supply!! We can only dring 1% of all water on earth and we are polluting it, not only with runoff from farm fertilizer that can contaminate our water supply, but by factories and plastic (which can leak chemicals into water)... Its just wrong. Fertilizers are bad for any water because it is baisically leaking chemicals into water that aquatic creatures live in. We can also contaminate our own drinking supply with fertilizers (surface runoff). I know that we can end our hunger crisis using fertilizers, but we are creating a far worse crisis... water pollution. I see that you are thinking that we have water cleaning treatment systems so its no big deal that you use it. But its the same with everybody else, they think that "oh its only one person" but its not. Every little thing on our world affects another and you affect someone too. Just don't use fertilizers. For people who don't have fresh water.

Is the best fertilizer compost or manure or fertilizer with pesticide or time release liquid fertilizer?
Compost, manure and time release fertilizers tend to be more effective than fertilizers with pesticides.Specifically, compost and manure are organic fertilizers that add to soil fertility, encourage well structured soil particles and promote air and water pore spaces. Manure nevertheless has to be monitored since it is so nitrogen rich. Monitoring also may be a concern with time release liquid fertilizers, which get the job done well but take time. It also must be a concern with fertilizers with pesticides since the suppression of one pesty problem may bring on another.
The amount of surface runoff increases as?
A number of factors. Soil saturation is one.
What precautions should one take while using bio fertilizers?
Attention to the amount and the placement of bio fertilizers as well as to related cultivating efforts are precautions to be taken while using bio fertilizers.Specifically, bio fertilizers are nitrogen fixing bacteria and phosphate solubilizing bacteria and fungi. Nitrogen fixing bacteria absolutely must be placed near the roots in order to be able to pursue their symbiotic relationship with the plant. Bio fertilizers need healthy, well-drained soils with adequate levels of air, microorganic life, moisture and nutrients.
