We Add Nitrogen to the Soil to Enhance Plant Growth

question 1

Multiple Choice

We add nitrogen to the soil to enhance plant growth and increase our food supply. What is the downside of this?

• A) Nothing. We need the food and the nitrogen enhances production.
• B) It's a waste of money because the added nitrogen doesn't make much difference in plant production.
• C) It's a waste of money because the soil bacteria supply all the nitrogen the plants can possibly use.
• D) It does increase plant production, but the excess ends up in our water, promoting algae growth and making the water undrinkable and, at times, unlivable for fish.
• E) Nothing because the excess nitrogen just evaporates into the atmosphere as part of the nitrogen cycle.
