When fertilizers are applied to crops, certain amount of it remains on plants which is washed off by rain and conveyed to rivers and lakes by surface run off. Further, excessively applied fertilizers gets mixed with water and such water containing traces of fertilizers percolate down into the soil and finds way to rivers and lakes by underground streams. Furthermore, nutrients contained in such polluted water brought to rivers and lakes accelerate growth of weeds, aquatic plants causing depletion of dissolved oxygen thereby damaging aquatic eco system existing in rivers and lakes.
What else can I help you with?
Water insoluble fertilizer?
A fertilizer for agriculture must be soluble in water, more or less.
Does fertilizer in water lower the temperature?
No, fertilizer in water does not lower the temperature. The presence of fertilizer can actually increase water temperature indirectly by promoting the growth of algae and other plants, which can absorb sunlight and heat up the water.
How can you separate fertilizer from the sand?
To separate fertilizer from sand, you can use a method that involves dissolving the fertilizer in water, as most fertilizers are soluble. First, mix the sand and fertilizer with water to create a slurry. Then, filter the mixture through a fine mesh or filter paper to collect the sand, leaving the dissolved fertilizer in the liquid. Finally, you can evaporate the water to recover the fertilizer.
How much uan 32 percent fertilizer should you mix with a gallon of water?
To mix a 32% UAN fertilizer with water, you would typically dilute it at a rate of 1 part fertilizer to 2 parts water. Therefore, you would mix approximately 0.33 gallons of 32% UAN fertilizer with 0.67 gallons of water to make a solution.
If you have 3 gallons of water and want to mix a liquid fertilizer at a ratio of 500 to 1 how much fertilizer should be added to the water?
To calculate the amount of fertilizer to add for a 500 to 1 ratio, take the number of ounces of water (128 per gal X 3 = 384) and divide that amount by 500. The answer comes out to approximately three quarters of an ounce, or .768 ounces for three gallons of water.
Do plants grow faster in fertilizer or water?
fertilizer

How does fertilizer get into water?
Fertilizers reach bodies of water in a variety of ways, most noticeably by rain washing the fertilizer into adjoining rivers and streams. However, all things contain water and water is a particle carrier, so the chemicals of fertilizers are transported to large bodies of water by all means, including by humans who are eating the fertilized food. Humans are 97% water at birth and pass through undigested fertilizer into waste delivery systems that return to the Water Cycle. Same with animals who are mostly made of water, themselves. Ultimately, humans made fertilizer and so fertilizers start their journey from human hands and so part of that answer is: humans.
