Real World Implications

The information I have gathered relates to everyday life because if we do not do thing to prevent fertilizer burn it could increase and spared throughout the country. That would decrease food supplies for all animals that would In turn cause the food chain to shift and may indanger animals. The animals may even become extant and we may loss them forever.

Fungus

Some fungus that can cause fertilizer burns are Rhizoctonia solani, Microdochium nivale, Sclerotinia homeocarpa and Fusarium species. Rhizoctonia solani affects turfgrass but only the blades are affected most of the time. Microdochium nivale mostly affects grass in cold season when snow has been on the ground for a few months, but if the weather gets worst the grass gets worst to. Sclerotinia homeocrpa happens when lawns under stress from lack of moisture and nitrogen. Fusarium species is often combine with one or more other pathogenic fungi and occurs daring hot, dry, and windy conditions.
