. Chemical pesticides can have far-reaching effects on human health. Theycan contaminate the quality of surface water and groundwater, as well as cause toxicity within most individuals who consume pesticide-sprayed fruits and vegetables. Since most farmers use these fertilizers on their farm, animals receive first-hand exposure to these toxins--thus causing people who ingest non-organic meat products to experience pesticide toxicity, too.

2. Chemical fertilizer is more "hygienic" because natural fertilizer can cause viruses or bacteria in plants which leads to disease in humans who eats them. It is also much cheaper than natural fertilizer.The use of chemical fertilizers has a great importance for the worlds food production and food prices. If we didn’t had the opportunity to use chemical fertilizers it would have been higher food prices. This would have affected poor people the most.Chemical fertilizers are very useful because it works as fast food for plants. They can absorb the nutrients immediately and the fertilizer works quickly.One of the benefits with chemical fertilizers is that it’s custom-made for our requirement. If the soil is rich in nitrogen and potassium, it will need a fertilizer that will take care of the lack of phosphorus. Chemical fertilizers give us the option of using phosphorus-rich fertilizers.

3.  The three main nutrients that plants needs supplies of are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). All fertilizers contain either one or more of these nutrients. Nitrogen makes sure that the plants evolve and lets the green parts grow. Phosphorus has a lot to say for the development of the root system and the plant quality. Big and strong roots provide a healthier and more resistant plant. Potassium is essential for the bud placement and fruit quality.Potassium also has much to say on the plants ability to endure the winter.

4. The biggest issue facing the use of chemical fertilizers is ground water contamination. Nitrogen fertilizers break down into nitrates and travel easily through the soil. Because it is water-soluble and can remain in groundwater for decades, the addition of more nitrogen over the years has an accumulative effect.

5. Knowing and understanding the effects of chemical fertilizers doesnt do us much good without action on our part. Knowing how to protect our health is what counts. If your on well-water have your water tested regularly by are putable lab. Support organic and sustainable agriculture. Know your farm and your farmer and understand their practices. Take part in safe guard ingorganic practices and standards.Visit Organic Consumers for details. Learn more about organic fertilizer for your own garden.
