Can you explain how excessive use of fertilizer affects nitrogen cycle and the phosphorous cycle?


Rate This Answer

Excessive use of fertilizer disrupts the nitrogen cycle by contaminating the groundwater and making it more difficult for plants to absorb the nitrogen they need. This may also contaminate the water fish encounter. Use of fertilizer that is high in phosphorus causes the phosphorus cycle to accelerate, resulting in an excess of phosphorus in water and soil.
