Benefits:Easy to manageProvides uniformityCan be grown by few
people as long as they have large machines
Lack of diversity = potential loss of crop to disease/pest
Need for pesticidesNeed for inorganic
fertilizer because crop takes particular nutrient from soil
Loss of biodiversity from field edges/cover crops
What are the tradeoffs of monoculture?

Genetic resistance and the pesticide treadmill

![Page 8: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pests and diseases generally are plant-specific.
• Examples – • Boll weevil attacks
cotton plants• Rust fungus attacks
corn• Yellow rust fungus
attacks wheat
![Page 9: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Each crop needs some of the same nutrients . . .
• Nitrogen• Phosphorus• Potassium• Trace elements
• But each crop takes the same nutrients out of the soil each time it’s grown.
• Example: corn uses a LOT of nitrogen

So why do monocultures require lots of fertilizer?
![Page 11: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What IS fertilizer?
• Synthetic/Inorganic fertilizer:
• Made from natural gas (a fossil fuel)
• Examples:– Miracle Gro– Ammonium nitrate– Scott’s turf builder
• Organic fertilizer• Created from an
ecological process or organism
• Examples:– Fish emulsion– Blood meal– Bone meal– compost

Fertilizer nutrients – what do those numbers mean?
• Nitrogen• Phosphorus • Potassium
![Page 13: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Nitrogen cycle – Why is nitrogen so important?
• Present in all proteins (structural and enzymatic) and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
• Nitrogen atoms cycle through the environment just like water molecules!
![Page 14: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Remember the water cycle?
![Page 15: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Legumes are the stars!
![Page 16: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
These are legumes, too!
![Page 17: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rhizobium bacteria in nodules on legume roots start the cycle

Houston, we have a problem (and it’s linked to fertilizers!)
![Page 21: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Eutrophication Obj #17
• Each pair/tri needs a white board, 2 markers, and an eraser – send a runner now!
• Re-read the paragraph on artificial eutrophication.
• List the steps of eutrophication on obj #17.• Compare your list with your neighbors• Use your notes to draw a cartoon of the
process on the white boards.

Plant nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) cause eutrophication
![Page 24: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Other sources of plant nutrients
• Untreated sewage • Manure from livestock• Pet wastes

So what can YOU do?
![Page 30: HEY! Get out your objectives #4-12 for a stamp! Update your food journal for a stamp! Read the board!](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649de65503460f94adf4f5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Eutrophication
• Which pollutants are involved?• What are the sources of these pollutants?• Are these sources point or nonpoint sources?• What are the effects of eutrophication?• Why does the dead zone form in the Gulf near
New Orleans?• Why does the dead zone form in the summer?• Why should we be worried about the dead zone?
