What would happen if excess amount of fertilizers are added to a green lawn?
Very dangerous to upset ecosystem of Green Lawn.Use of chemical fertilizers leads to soil infertility, decreases the quality of plants. Chemical fertilizers releases gas called nitrous oxide. Explore biobio.in and learn few biological aspects. Chemical fertilizer mixed with water, pollutes water. Excess use of chemical fertilizer may damage the roots and the plants. Continuous and excessive use of chemical fertilizers leads to a loss of organic humus, a deterioration of the fertility of top soil and a decrease in the porosity. Consequently, the roots do not get oxygen and can not absorb the salts effectively. The unabsorbed nitrates are carried by rain water into rivers and lakes, where they accumulate and pose a threat to aquatic life. The top fertile soil gets destroyed thus exposing the soil to become dry and powdery which may be blown away by winds. Those barren lands can be ultimately converted into deserts.
