substance added to help plants grow
A natural or chemical substance that people put on soil or plants to give them food and help them grow better.
Brugsmønster:
[someone] applies [fertilizer] to [soil/plants]
Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes confuse "fertilizer" with "pesticide." A fertilizer feeds plants and helps them grow, while a pesticide kills insects or other pests. Some learners also think fertilizer is only chemical, but it can be natural (like compost or manure) or synthetic.
Synonymer
plant food (Common and simple term, especially in gardening; often used for packaged products for houseplants or lawns.)

manure (Refers specifically to animal waste used as a natural fertilizer; more specific and often seen as more traditional or organic.)
Antonymer
pollutant (A substance that harms the environment or living things, rather than nourishing plants like a fertilizer does.)
