Question

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of fertilizer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Allows farmers to grow plants using very little soil

Explanation:

Fertilizer helps us to return the nutrients to the soil for new or current plants to grow. These nutrients were spent by the plants that were there or the soil was not that rich with nutrients, to begin with. It will not replace soil and growing plants without soil is called hydroponics. Fertilizer is very useful in agriculture currently and most likely will continue to be a good way to grow plants for a while.
