What is a fertiliser?
• A fertiliser is a substance that helps plants grow.
• It provides the nutrients needed for healthy growth.
• It replaces nutrients that are lost from the environment when plants are removed during harvest.

Think Pair Share
1.What are nutrients and why are they important?
2.What does harvest mean?
3.What happens to the recycling of nutrients when crops are harvested?

Why are fertilisers important?
• When crops are harvested the nitrogen taken out of the cycle needs to be replaced.
• Nitrogen can be added to the soil in the form of nitrate fertilisers.

Nitrogen
A lack of nitrogen means the plants have small yellow leaves

Phosphorus
A lack of phosphorus causes small roots, which makes the plant smaller

Potassium
A lack of potassium causes poor flowers (or fruit) to develop

Applying Fertilisers
• Fertilisers can be:– powder– liquid– granules

Experiment
• You are going to use this equipment to plan an experiment to see how different levels of minerals effect overall plant growth.

Types of FertilisersThere are two main types of fertilisers:
1. Artificial – Man made chemicals2. Natural - Found in the environment and made by
living things
Your task… Natural Fertilisers V’s Artificial Fertilisers
Use the fertilisers information sheet to produce a fact sheet to compare the two different types of fertilisers.

Fertilisers
Learning Intention: To understand the effects fertilisers can have

Success Criteria: • Explain how fertilisers can pass into the
environment• Explain the effects of fertilisers in aquatic
environments• Give examples areas affected by fertiliser

• Fertilisers can have negative effects on our environment.

Leaching
Fertilisers can leach from the soil into nearby water. This can happen when heavy rain washes excess fertiliser off the soil.
This means that the water is now rich in nitrates which algae love to feed on.

• Nitrogen in fresh water increases algal growth, blocking out the light. This causes death of organisms, decrease of oxygen and means less life can be supported.
