Proper strength and development are reasons why you should fertilize plants. For example, fertilizers give plants the nutrients that they need to produce fruits and vegetables. It's the equivalent of fruits and vegetables in turn giving their consumers the minerals and vitamins that they need for healthy growth.

But there's a tendency to over-fertilize. In terms of the plant, over-fertilization leads to unbalanced growth. Generally, it means lush leaves and little or no flowers or fruits. In terms of the environment, it means more pollutants in the ground and the water.
