Providing the crops with fertilizers is always not disadvantageous. Give 2 reasons to justify the statement.
Answers
Answer:
The over-use of chemical fertilizers can lead to soil acidification because of a decrease in organic matter in the soil. Nitrogen applied to fields in large amounts over time damages topsoil, resulting in reduced crop yields. Sandy soils are much more prone to soil acidification than are clay soils.
Answer:
I wish Dr. Olutosin Ademola Otekunrin was specific to whether mineral/inorganic fertilizers or organic/bio-fertilizers in his question. it could have made the discussion more focus. Although organic and inorganic fertilizers have their side effects on crop and soil health, the former is preferable. it is also important to note that the use of fertilizers to boost soil fertility is inevitable and the question of which form of fertilizer.i.e organic or inorganic should be recommended is a global concern. I suggest integrated soil fertility management as a tool to avoid rampant usage of inorganic fertilizers as their adverse impact is high compared to organic fertilizers.
