Fertilizers increase crop yield, recycle food production waste, encourage beneficial soil organisms, and if they have high organic matter content, they improve soil physical properties.
Los fertilizantes aumentan el rendimiento de los cultivos, reciclan residuos de la producción de alimentos, fomentan organismos beneficiosos en el suelo y, si tienen un alto contenido de materia orgánica, mejoran las propiedades físicas del suelo.
| Front | Give 3 advantages for uses of fertilisers |
|---|---|
| Back | Any 3 from below:
-Recycles food production waste
-Slow release - so less risk of leaching
-Encourages beneficial soil organisms
-Lower soil salinity after use
-Mild, non-caustic materialws
-If high OM content = improvements in soil physical properties
-We need more crops/ food because of ever-growing population
-Increases crop-yield |
