Well, all fertilizers are chemical, as everything is made of 'chemicals', but I assume you mean synthetic fertilizers manufactured by chemical industry. Overuse of these does indeed cause problems. The reason is that, unlike most organic fertilizers, the plant growth enhancing compounds in synthetic fertilizers are in a free form and soluble in ground water. This means if there is too much for plants to absorb immediately, rain will wash the fertilizers away. They end up in streams and ponds and lakes, where the algae take them up and grow rapidly, forming a bloom over the surface. This prevents light from reaching other water plants which then die and rot, depleting the oxygen supply so the animal life dies too. This is called eutrophication. Another problem is that nitrates can get into the water supplies we use for drinking, which can be dangerous to humans, especially babies.
What else can I help you with?
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 a lawn is fertilized and not watered the grass often dies Why?
ANSWER:If you took vitamins only and drink water, what would happen? You would die. Your body and the grass needs water to survive. Water is the most basic need other than oxygen, or carbon dioxide in the case of plants. The other problem is if you add fertilizer to a plant, it needs water to transfer it to its cells. Without this delivery device, the fertilizer is useless and can actually harm the plant instead of helping it.
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.
What would happen when the water clock's water evaporated?
Add again water.
Which would not change a potted plants growth?
lack of water and fertilizer would not change the growth
What would happen if too much fertilizer and too little water are sprayed onto a lawn?
Chuck Norris would die
What would happen if fertilizer was banned?
we would have no food left :)
What would happen if you did not protect your supply of fresh water?
Nothing... bad question!
What would happen to your water supply if land use was not regulated?
If land was not regulated, then there could be more pollution. Polluted areas would cause the water supply to be unusable and undrinkable if runoff from chemical sources enter into the supply.
What would happen if both fertilizer and alien plant ended up in the river?
it will cause aquatic animals to suffocate by draining out all the oxygen in the water
What would happen to supply if demand when up?
supply will increase.

What would happen to food chains if a toxic was released into the local water supply and the mice in the meadow died?
the food chain would die/end
What would most likely happen if the world's supply of fresh water ran out before it could be renewed?
Many people would die from diseases
What would happen to the organisms if several house owners fertilize their lawns followed by a big rain?
The fertilizer could cause an algal bloom, which would deplete oxygen in the water and likely make the water toxic. Fish and animals that drink the water are likely to die.
Can a faulty well pump cause water to spurt out of the ground?
Only if there is a break in the supply line or the impeller housing would this happen.
What will happen to New York's power supply if the Niagara River were to dry up?
