At the same time it injects a toxic substance into the plant which results in chlorosis, distortion, stunting, early leaf and fruit fall, the production of honeydew, sooty mould and possibly the death of the plant.

Fertilizer trees are used in agroforestry to improve the condition of soils used for farming. As woody legumes, they capture nitrogen from the air and put it in the soil through their roots and falling leaves. [1] They can also bring nutrients from deep in the soil up to the surface for crops with roots that cannot reach that depth. [2]
Foliar feeding is a technique of feeding plants by applying liquid fertilizer directly to the leaves. [1] Plants are able to absorb essential elements through their leaves. [ 2 ] The absorption takes place through their stomata and also through their epidermis .

Acid rain: The burning of fossil fuels releases oxides of sulfur and nitrogen into the atmosphere. These react with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric and nitric acid in rain.
