you burn the plant and may even kill it
we can prevent this by decreasing the use of fertilizer in plants. Excess use of fertilizer can lead to eutrophication.

Advantages of using urea: it is a cost-effective source of nitrogen fertilizer, has high nitrogen content, and is readily available for plants to absorb. Disadvantages of using urea: it can volatilize if not properly applied or incorporated into the soil, may cause nitrogen burn if applied in excess, and can contribute to water pollution through leaching.
chemical fertilizer leads to a loss of organic humus, a deterioration of the fertility of top soil and a decrease in porosity the roots do not get oxygen and cannot absorb the salts effectively......
Insufficient fertilizer in plants can cause deficiency symptoms and slow plant growth. Excess fertilizer, meanwhile, can lead to salinity problems.
Only a thin layer of grease should be applied to a sealed bearing to ensure proper lubrication without causing excess buildup.

Yes, fertilizer can be a pollutant.Specifically, fertilizer becomes a pollutant in terms of water. Excess applications can run off in rain events. They end up in streams where they cause nitrogen blooms.
A foliar fertilizer is one which is applied directly to the leaves of a growing crop. It's normally done with a tractor- or self-propelled spraying rig. The concentrations are usually quite low because the plant leaves can only absorb a limited amount of any nutrient, and so this practice is normally limited to the application of micronutrients, those which the plant needs only in very tiny amounts. Fertigation fertilizer, on the other hand, is the application of any fertilizer through an irrigation system. The target for the fertilizer is the root zone of the crop, not the leaves as with a foliar product. While the amounts applied are still relatively limited, this method is normally used to apply small amounts of the major nutrients in cases where it is difficult to get enough fertilizer applied using regular methods, or when excess precipitation may have washed nutrients out of the soil. Even though the irrigation system may apply water and fertilizer to the leaves, the intent is to wash it off into the root zone.
Using too much fertilizer can lead to fertilizer burn, where the excess salts in the fertilizer draw water out of the plant roots, causing damage. This can result in stunted growth, burned foliage, or even plant death. Conversely, using too little fertilizer can lead to nutrient deficiencies, resulting in poor growth, yellowing leaves, or reduced fruit production. It's important to carefully follow instructions when applying fertilizer to ensure the right balance for healthy plant growth.
Excess use of fertilizer can lead to nitrogen and phosphorus runoff into water bodies, causing eutrophication. This can result in algal blooms, depleting oxygen levels in the water and harming aquatic life. Additionally, the excess nutrients can leach into groundwater, contaminating drinking water sources.
Yes, you can neutralize too much fertilizer by diluting it with water or by adding more soil to reduce the concentration of nutrients. You can also allow the excess fertilizer to leach out by watering the plants thoroughly. It is important to monitor your plants for signs of fertilizer burn and adjust your fertilizer application accordingly.
