How does excess fertilizer burn the roots of a plant?
In: Biology
The same way that too much of any vitamin will cause you to overdose. Depending on what the fertilizer is composed of and how the plant process and stores it, an excess of a nutrient could overwhelm the plant’s ability to process it. Since plants can’t really get rid of excess nutrients, they have to store them, and when it has too much then the nutrient can become toxic.
