O knihe
Fertilizer has helped the growth of agriculture for decades. However, its overuse in some regions has caused environmental and health problems due to pollution and contamination of groundwater.
Fertilizer quality is another cause for concern in many countries, as the actual nutrient content may not match the labeled content on the packaging.

Is the effectiveness of fertilizer overstated? How do farmers respond to uncertainty in fertilizer quality? Can they differentiate between good and poor quality fertilizer?
