Increasing population sizes lead to increasing demand for food farmers use synthetic fertilizers to add necessary nutrients to the soil so crops can grow what is the ultimate consequence of this fertilizer use a fertilizer runs off with rainwater B death of aquatic organisms see algae blooms grow rapidly D deoxygenated water bodies
The ultimate consequence of fertilizer use in agricultural practices is B) death of aquatic organisms. When synthetic fertilizers run off into water bodies, they cause excessive algae growth, leading to algae blooms. As these algae die and decompose, they consume oxygen in the water, leading to deoxygenation of the water bodies. This lack of oxygen can result in the death of aquatic organisms such as fish and other marine life.
