Explain why a plant is likely to wilt or diop if too much fertilizer is applied to it.
Rose Acquah
Because the root of the tree is a semi permeable membrane and the fertilizer is a Concentrated substance and the water in the plant has a lower Concentrated solution so the more the fertilizer the higher the rate of osmosis that is why a plant wilts when there's too much fertilizer.

Specifically, the use of the adjective "excessive" identifies the problem of too much, too often, too quick. Overfertilizing makes the plant dependent when it needs to be strengthening its own defense and survival mechanisms. Additionally, too much fertilizer stays in the ground and works to decrease soil nutrient and soil food web diversity.

If you grow plant in sand will it grow better using fertilizer?
That depends how much fertilizer you use and on what plants. An excess can result in a plant dying. However, correctly applied in the correct proportions for the specific plant, growth will generally be better, since sands are often low in fertility. Plants that are naturally adapted to such soils will not appreciate extra fertilizer.
What will happen to the roots if too much fertilizer is applied?
That not enough fertilizer can be taken in is what happens to roots when too much fertilizer is applied.Specifically, more fertilizer can be applied than can be taken in by the roots. It is left present but inaccessible in the soil. It may damage and burn the roots.
Does the fertilizer that wilt the plant kill it?
Fertilizer that wilts a plant can kill it. Plants can die off if too much fertilizer are used or if they are watered too much. To ensure proper care of a plant, be sure to provide proper sunlight, water daily and a sufficient doze of fertilizer.
Why did your plant die when you have been watering it with fertilizer?
It is possible you gave it too much water or too much fertilizer. Fertilizer can burn the roots.
What does it meant that nitrogen burns a plant?
Nitrogen plant burns are caused when to much fertilizer (or fertilizer with a high concentration of Nitrogen) is added to a plant. If the concentration of Nitrogen (or Nitrogen compounds such as ammonia) is to high it causes the soil to become highly acidic in the area where it was applied, the high acidity damages (or kills) the roots of the plant retarding or preventing the uptake of water or nutrients by the plant.
How does fertilizer affects plants?
It will boost the plant, but too much may kill or hurt the plant. Be sure you know what you are doing, when applying fertilizer.
What happens to plant growth when you increase the amounts of fertilizer?
Plant growth will increase when fertilizer is added, in as much as the plant is deficient in the nutrients the fertilizer provides. Most processes in nature has a bell-shaped to its function where too much, even of a good thing, can begin to do harm.
Can you fertilize a plant too much?
No, if you give a plant too much fertilizer it could burn the roots of the plant and maybe even kill it.
Why is your plant dying with fertilizer?
If the plant is indeed dying from fertiliser then you have given it too much. Follow the manufacturers instructions.
How has the fertilizer industry developed?
fertilizer how became more advance the have been able to grow plant much faster , and increase the sizes of plants. a fertilizer is a plant grow with specific chemicals that promote plant grow , over the years more stable chemicals have been added to increase the growth strength....
Can poop kill trees?
It depends on what is in the excrement and how much is applied. Manure is actually a good fertilizer.
