This document discusses the basics of fertilizer and its impact on the environment. It outlines different types of fertilizers including organic and inorganic varieties. While fertilizers provide nutrients to improve soil and plant growth, they can also harm the environment if overused by polluting water sources and causing eutrophication. The document recommends supporting sustainable agriculture and using fertilizers strategically to reduce negative environmental impacts.

8. What can we do to reduce negative
impacts of fertilizer?
To reduce the impacts of fertilizer-
 If we're on well-water have our water tested regularly by
a reputable lab.
 Support organic and sustainable agriculture. Know our
farm and our farmer and understand their practices.
 Take part in safeguarding organic practices and
standards.

9. Fertilizer in Market
 Prices of inorganic fertilizer are high
 High grain yields
 Mixed crops

10. Summary
 Organic and inorganic both types fertilizer
are useful to plants but sometimes
fertilizer become the reason of
imbalanced environment. People should
use fertilizer with latest strategy.

11. Conclusion
• Strengthen extension system to boast grain production
in the short run.
• Strengthen research system and increase investment in
transportation infrastructure to improve marketing
system and irrigation to realize green revolution in the
longer run.
