Eutrophication
Runoff from fertilizers is a strong contributor to high phosphate levels. At one time, phosphates were also used in detergents.
Examples: pollution of waters and eutrophication.
Two main reasons for water pollution are industrial discharge of chemicals and waste and agricultural runoff containing fertilizers and pesticides. Both of these sources can introduce harmful substances into water bodies, leading to pollution and environmental damage.
One disadvantage of using fertilizer is the potential for runoff, which can lead to water pollution and harm aquatic ecosystems. Overuse of fertilizers can also lead to nutrient imbalances in the soil, causing harm to plants and reducing biodiversity. Additionally, some fertilizers can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
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.
problem solving is one of the students problem in physics.
No it is not illegal to collect runoff from your roof, because no one owns it.

Complex Fertilizers ate fertilizers that supply more than one plant nutrient. Example: Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) contains 18% N and 20% P (46% P2O)Advantages of Complex Fertilizers are:The possibility of adulteration is generally less.Each granule is homogenous in nutrient content.Being granular, the drilling of fertilizer is easy.They are cheaper than straight or mixed fertilizers.Phosphorus availability is not affected (fixation is less) as the phosphorus in the granules will have less contact with soil particlesIf you want to more detailed answer check out the related link below.
Fertilizers and pesticides lead to soil mismanagement by over doing both. If one over does it on the fertilizer on grass, it can actually have an adverse reaction and burn out or grass can die. If one over uses pesticides it can also act as a ground clearing agent.
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.
