Fertilizers, problem solving, and trade-offs Take Action Fertilizers, problem solving, and trade-offs

What’s the problem? Plenty of sun, water, and air… Need Nutrients!!! What are our options to fix this?

Organic and manufactured fertilizers High and low concentrations Fast and slow acting Environmental impacts What to do…

Organic Naturally occurring organic matter and humus Slow release of nutrients Builds soil for long term growth Helps soil hold together…less threat of erosion

Manufactured High nutrient concentration Fast acting Quick fix Requires reapplication Issues with runoff

Environmental impacts Organic—minimal…naturally occurring process Recycle food scraps with composting

Environmental impacts Manufactured Issues with runoff Impact on ground water, waterways, and surrounding life

Mississippi River Dead Zone

Trade offs Determine advantages and disadvantages of each Come to conclusion where advantages outweigh disadvantages Make tough decisions
